Turkey Salad

During this past Thanksgiving, I cooked a 15-pound turkey using my Big Easy by Char-Broil. This is the second Thankgiving that I used this wonderful product and it does a great job on the turkey.

Well, when you have leftover turkey, you need to do something with it. There are only so many turkey sandwiches you can eat. In order to give the turkey a little zing, I break down the bird and turn it into a delicious turkey salad.

I add boiled eggs, dried cranberries, apples, celery, onions, pickles and some poultry seasoning to it and mix it with salad dressing. In a matter of days, all of the turkey is gone. It is wonderful on bread or just by itself. Considering everything I put into the salad, it is a meal by itself.
