Note

For best results, ensure the potatoes are fully tender before adding the turkey to prevent overcooking the meat.

If using leftover turkey, ensure it is heated through before serving.

You can substitute the Italian dressing with a vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for a lighter profile.

This salad is best served warm but can be eaten at room temperature.
