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!  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.
