Рецепт Turkey Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad
Turkey Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad is a delightful mixture of crunchy, sweet and savory flavors and a GREAT way to use up any leftover turkey or chicken!
I don't know about all of you, but I've got leftovers galore in my fridge. I always say I'm going to cut back on what I serve at Thanksgiving every year, but then I tend to make something for everyone and that translates to leftovers, despite the fact that I send food home with all my guests! This year, I ended up with a bumper crop of turkey, stuffing and ham!
To use up the leftover ham, I made a big batch of my Favorite Ham Salad Spread. I've still got the ham bone in the freezer for a great big pot of Classic Bean and Ham Soup. Tonight's dinner is going to be Turkey Minestrone Soup (recipe to come at a future date!) and today's lunch was this wonderful Turkey Apple Cranberry Pecan Salad. If you are a fan of chicken salad with a nice sweet component, you will LOVE this Turkey salad.
I've make a good dent in my turkey leftovers today! I have to be honest, it's really kind of fun to find ways to re-purpose leftovers. Morphing them into completely new dishes helps my creativity come alive! You've got to try this salad if you have any leftover turkey. If you are without turkey leftovers, try it out with some cooked chicken breast!
