Notes
For the turkey: Use any favorite turkey or chicken (leftovers work great!) for this salad. About 8 minutes in the instant pot will do for chicken or turkey breasts, or you can cook your turkey on the stovetop, bake, or grill it. If am cooking it myself, I like to season it generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking. * You can also use rotisserie chicken, or I also like to use frozen diced chicken or turkey.
