Notes

For the best meal-prep texture, keep the sauce separate and warm only the turkey. Refrigerate assembled bowls for up to 3 days; store sauce in a jar for up to 5 days. Freezing is not recommended due to the sauce texture. For a lighter option, use light mayonnaise to reduce calories while keeping the creamy finish.
