Smoked Turkey Pimento Salad

Lets take a American classic chicken salad and give it a southern twist using BBQ turkey legs and our feature ingredient Pimento cheese. Whether we use it for a wrap or a sandwich topping or on top of salad greens we can enjoy the smoky taste of the turkey mixed with the creamy mixture of mayo and pimento cheese accented with crunchy pieces of fresh veggies. For breakfast fry up some bacon pieces with diced onion; then add a couple of eggs and scramble and fold in some of our smoked turkey pimento salad mixture to start your day.

 1/4 cup mayonnaise
