Note
Ensure the mango is ripe but firm for the best texture. Underripe mango may be too starchy, while overripe may become mushy.
The salsa can be made up to 4 hours in advance. Stir gently before serving to redistribute the juices.
If you prefer a spicier salsa, add a diced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fruit mixture.
Leftover turkey can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the salsa separately to maintain crispness.
For a heartier meal, serve alongside grilled corn on the cob or a simple mixed green salad with a vinaigrette.
