Tired of turkey sandwiches?

Let's face it - turkey is tasty, but this is the week of turkey overload.  And while the dinner was divine, how to use the leftovers (besides in sandwiches) can be challenging. This salad recipe might help.

Turkey Chopped Salad

1 pound leftover turkey (white meat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 cups chopped romaine hearts,
6 cups chopped radicchio
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup bottled balsamic dressing
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted,

Cut turkey into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large salad bowl, combine turkey, romaine, radicchio and cranberries. Toss.  In a separate bowl, whisk together balsamic dressing and maple syrup until combined. Pour over salad and toss gently to distribute dressing.  Top with almonds.

Serves 6
