With just a little bit of turkey remaining after our Thanksgiving feast, this was a quick and tasty lunch for the kids and me. My boys enjoyed their salad by itself, with some crackers on the side.
I had mine on a plate of spring mix with chopped tomatoes and cucumbers. This would also make a terrific sandwich too.

Another lovely leftover turkey recipe that makes me wish I was American so I could have Thanksgiving! Surely this is a good enough reason to relocate?

That reminds me of a chicken salad we make with smoked chicken.
