Turkey Salad (1 cup) contains 2.3g total carbs, 1.6g net carbs, 31.9g fat, 29.4g protein, and 417 calories.
Seed the peppers, remove the cores, and cut the flesh into thin strips. Chop the cucumber and slice and chop the tomatoes. (Besides the addition of lettuce, this is a main difference between the Greek and Turkish versions. Greek salads have tomato wedges and cucumber discs.)
Mayo adds moisture throughout the cooking process, keeping the meat moist so there's no need to brine it beforehand. There's also no need to baste while cooking because the oil in the mayo will naturally help the skin crisp.
