Cooking Tip

After heavy holiday meals, this refreshing leftover turkey salad is the perfect change in flavor profile. We developed this salad with shredded turkey, but it also works well with roasted chicken. Simply replace shredded turkey with 12-ounces shredded rotisserie chicken for a delicious lunch or dinner any time of year!
