While turkey is good on Thanksgiving, I much prefer it as a leftover. Turkey salad to be exact. And seeing that we’re four days out from turkey day, it’s about time for just that.
Plus, I can’t get enough of my Pequa Vally Farm maple yogurt (made in Ronks, PA, but sadly does not have a website). It’s pure sweet, tangy, and creamy deliciousness.
So of course I combined it with turkey. I mean really, it’s the obvious thing to do!
And I plopped it all on a potato stuffing “pancake” that was heated on a cast iron skillet. Really people, what else would I do?
It’s the ultimate pile of leftovers, topped with tomato and lettuce, and eaten as an open face sandwich.
It’s got everything you could want in a meal. A warm soft base. A cool crunchy top. A burst of flavor in the middle.
Don’t believe me? Oh you just try it!
Maple Cranberry Turkey Salad
- 3 cups turkey, chopped
- 4 heaping tablespoons maple yogurt
- (I can’t vouch for anything, but Pequa)
- 2 heaping tablespoons mayo
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (to pump the maple flavor up!)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 scallions, chopped
- grinds of salt and pepper to your taste
Eat it on crackers, a salad, a sandwich, or just right out of the bowl. When you love this, I promise I won’t say…I told ya’ so!
