Note

The bulgur needs time to hydrate; do not skip the 2-hour resting period for best texture.

Use fully cooked turkey breast to save time. Ensure it is cold or room temperature for best slicing results.

Peaches can be substituted with nectarines or mangoes if out of season.

Store leftover dressing and salad components separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The bulgur salad may become soggy if stored with dressing for too long.

For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts or substitute with toasted sunflower seeds.
