Ingredients

4 heaping cups leftover turkey meat, shredded/cubed (1 pound - use a mix of light and dark meat for the best flavor)
2/3 cup diced apple (120 grams)
1/2 cup diced celery (65 grams)
1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped (35 grams)
1/4 cup homemade cranberry sauce *
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt (4 ounces/I like using full-fat)
1/2 tablespoon honey (optional, depends on how sweet your cranberry sauce is)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Make the turkey salad. Add all ingredients to a large bowl. Stir well to combine. Adjust according to taste. If you have time, let it chill for a few hours to allow the flavors to come together.
Enjoy! Serve in a sandwich, salad, or however you like!

Notes

*If you don't have leftover cranberry sauce or like to use canned at your holiday meal, feel free to use dried cranberries instead. You might need a little more yogurt if you do so.
