Turkey Salad (From Leftovers)

Image via Wikipedia

I usually have leftover turkey after Thanksgiving, and sometimes after Christmas. While I freeze some of it, I keep some in the refrigerator to use over the next few days. I try to make at least one salad during this time.

Ingredients:

handful of romaine lettuce

few leaves of baby spinach

handful of shredded cabbage

leftover corn, cold

1 tomato, chopped or diced

a sprinkling of shredded carrot

a sprinkling of shredded cheese

a couple of dashes of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

a little turkey, cut into bite size pieces

leftover peas, cold

1. Mix everything up.
2. Enjoy!

 

Tips:

• Shred some uncooked sweet potato and turnip or squash over the salad.
• Use a different kind of meat if  turkey is not available, and any and vegetables that look appetizing.

 

Serving Suggestions:

• Italian or garlic bread will go well with this salad.
• Rolls are another option.
• Consider using a honey or cinnamon butter to add an interesting flavor to the bread.

Happy Eating!
