Leftover Turkey Salad Sandwich

It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff.

I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share a few more ideas using the leftover turkey.

I'm thinking a fun series on turkey sandwiches or something, but I'm not making any promises. I still have a house full of Grandparents and a lot of family time to soak up. 🙂

In the meantime here's the sandwich I made today. Oh! And sorry for the images, there's no light after 5PM. It's killing me!

Ingredients

• 2oz leftover turkey (or chicken)
• 2 tablespoon fat free yogurt
• 4 carrot sticks diced
• 4 slices of cucumber diced
• 10g dried cranberries
• ⅛ teaspoon ground sage
• ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
• pinch of kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a bowl…

Mix well.

Serve on a whole grain English muffin with some fresh greens. I added a handful of carrot sticks, my favorite side for adding some crunch.

Here's the nutritional information for the salad only in case you decide to use it differently.
