Use up your leftover turkey and make this leftover turkey salad! Made with apples, walnuts, celery, leftover cranberry sauce, and greek yogurt, it makes an easy and protein-packed meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 heaping cups leftover turkey meat, shredded/cubed ((1 pound - use a mix of light and dark meat for the best flavor))

  • 1/2 cup diced celery ((65 grams))
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped ((35 grams))
  • 1/4 cup homemade cranberry sauce (*)
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt ((4 ounces/I like using full-fat))
  • 1/2 tablespoon honey ((optional, depends on how sweet your cranberry sauce is))
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the turkey salad. Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Stir well to combine. Adjust according to taste. If you have time, let it chill for a few hours to allow the flavors to come together.
