Apple Cranberry Turkey Salad Recipe
I am making a load of great recipes that use leftover food. We are a family that loves leftovers. I know many people aren’t, but you can save so much money and waste food by making great recipes with leftover foods like this apple cranberry turkey salad recipe.
I got the idea from, of course, the normal chicken salad sandwich recipes that are so common. And by the way, you can use this recipe with leftover roasted chicken. It tastes amazing, as well. But since I always have so much leftover turkey after Thanksgiving because of the 20 plus pound turkey made on Thursday, I have to come up with many recipes for this said meat. It helps to get my family and me through the rest of the holiday weekend.
