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.

    5 stars
    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.
