This year’s T-Day dinner seated 6 Thursday night, and then a follow up for 7 Friday night, and we still had a massive amount of leftover turkey (and everything else on the menu)! My father looked at me and asked, “what were we thinking?” I don’t know dad, but I do love being able to play with the turkey leftovers.
Creative Way To Use Thanksgiving Turkey Leftovers
Today I made a big batch of this curried turkey salad with our turkey leftovers for a light lunch with my parents. We had the curry turkey salad over mixed greens, though you could easily put between two layers of bread for a sandwich. The cilantro is important here, I don’t recommend omitting it unless you don’t eat cilantro, in which case parsley will work as a substitution. Do you have a favorite turkey salad made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey? If so please let us know about it in the comments. Options: for a little more zing, add a little mango chutney to the dressing. The point of this step is to heat it enough to release more of its flavor. You can easily skip this step if you are in a hurry.
