Happy Wednesday guys! Recipe of the day is Leftover Turkey Salad with Carrots, Celery, Apple and Creamy Dijon Dressing.
The Leftover Turkey Salad has become one of my favourite during the months of November/December. It is packed with flavour, super crunchy, healthy and filling. And the dressing is just what this salad needs – creamy honey mustard with a touch of lemon juice.
If you’re not having any turkey leftovers soon :-), pleas try this salad anyway. You can use turkey breast, but any part would work. Cook the meat and slice it thinly, then add all of the veggies, apple and creamy dressing.
You can store it for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. It’s delicious on its own but I also love it in wraps and sandwiches for a more filling an nutritious option. You can also serve it as a side or appetizer, it won’t disappoint. 🙂
What you need:
- turkey
- carrots
