Our friend Carrie from My Recipe Confessions is here to help us use up some of those turkey dinner leftovers from Thanksgiving yesterday!
I can’t wait to try her Leftover Turkey and Cranberry Vinaigrette Salad recipe- it looks amazing! Â I’ll turn it over to her…
Here is the perfect recipe for all your leftover turkey and cranberry sauce.
Instead of eating your leftover turkey the same way over and over again, switch things up with this light and refreshing salad.
If you don’t have any leftover turkey,don’t worry you can use a rotisserie chicken. Now you can enjoy this amazing salad year round.

Serving turkey in new ways means it looks less like leftovers and more like a new creation. This salad sounds really good. I’ve got lots of turkey left over.
It looks delightful, doesn’t it! I love having Carrie on our creative team 🙂 Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. xoxo~ Ruthie
What a delicious looking salad! And after all the food eaten at Thanksgiving, a light dish like a salad is a great way to use the turkey leftovers!!! Love it!
Oh my my. That leftover looks really yummy.
