One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers! Yesterday Turkey became today Turkey Salad.
If you have a whole bunch of turkey leftover after Thanksgiving, here is a straightforward and tasty recipe that will make the turkey much more enjoyable. If you like me, I am not a turkey person until it's leftover, and I can make a different dish out of it. I love to use Turkey for the hash, and the hubby love to make this Turkey salad; when I tell you, it is one of my favorite leftover foods that he makes. This a great meal for lunch, easy and fast to make. I hope you guys enjoy Dwayne’s Turkey Salad Recipe.
