I winged the recipe based off of things seen and eaten in the past. Turkey, mayo, celery, salt, pepper, thyme, sage, nuts (I used raw cashews because it was all I had, but walnuts or pecans are also good), and the leftover cranberry sauce. Yum. The chunks and spicy-sweet flavor totally make the salad. This is, in my opinion, way better than any turkey salad with dried cranberries in it. It is a bit more like a turkey & stuffing sandwich in flavor, probably due to the similar sweetness form a sauced cranberry vs. a dried. I think it will become a permanent way to use up turkey in my house. Just thought I would share.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!

Sounds fantastic! I'm SO trying this with our left overs.
Did I read that right - you just made a turkey before Thanksgiving? LOL! Looks great, don't forget about turkey & wild rice soup, my favorite!
yes, you read it right. We travel for Thanksgiving, so I always buy a turkey or two when they are on sale and cook one close to the holiday. I don't always do the full meal, but we at least get our turkey fix.
Safe travels to you and the family. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks Dani, same to you!
Wow, you had turkey already. Awesome! This looks delicious.
