    Leftover Turkey Salad Sandwich

    Updated: Jul 21, 2023 by Veronica Noone · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    leftover turkey salad sandwich pin

    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
    • â…› teaspoon ground sage
    • â…› 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.

      I really like the idea of replacing mayo with fat free yogurt. I've tried fat free/dairy free yogurt making a red pepper dip/spread. It came out remarkable and it still had that creamy consistency we all look for.
