Easy Salad with Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey

After the big turkey dinner, I am in charge of the leftovers. I chop and portion any turkey meat and know what I want to use it in. I always set aside a couple of cups of chopped roasted turkey meat (especially the breast) to make this Leftover Turkey Salad. It’s super simple yet so tasty! My family loves it for lunch with whole-grain bread or in lettuce cups. The sweetness from the apple and slightly sharp flavor from red onion complement the herby turkey meat so well.
