Leftover Turkey Salad Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

It happens every year. You make a giant 28-pound turkey for a family of eight and surprise It doesn't all get eaten. Now, you're left with a pile of leftover turkey breast and all the dark meat that only a few people will touch. What to do?Everyone loves a thanksgiving leftover turkey sandwich, but there's only so much turkey soup you can stuff in your freezer, leftover pizza you can make, and turkey burritos you can enjoy. Sometimes, you need something new and fresh, that doesn't taste like the heavy meal you just consumed. That's where these turkey salad lettuce wraps come into play. Fresh, crispy butter lettuce leaves, sharp cheddar cheese, and a homemade cranberry mustard turn the leftover bird into a lightened-up dinner. The best part is, you can easily make this turkey salad right after thanksgiving and keep it in the fridge for a few days. If you want a little variety, this salad is also delicious on whole wheat toast or on top of a traditional salad.
