Turkey salad is often made from leftover holiday turkey. It's more enjoyable in the summer, made from frozen chopped turkey, if necessary. Living gluten free often means none of the sandwich and cracker parties that are so common. There are gluten free options. So similar in appearance, it would be easy to mix them up at a party. Another option is topping a pile of gluten free noodles. Eggs can be cooked as early as a day before. If multiple meat salads are made, add a dash of mustard to one to differentiate them.
