Post Thanksgiving Turkey Salad w Cheese

Get creative with a Turkey Salad that can also be made with Turkey Cold cuts, Roasted Turkey, or any other type you feel would go well with your favorite dressing

 

 

 

Ingredients: Serves one large meal for lunch or dinner

• 1 cup of shredded turkey, do not heat it up otherwise it will make the lettuce soggy
• 1/2 cup of grated reduced fat cheddar cheese (I also recommend 4C grated Parmesan, or choose your own) note: all Parmesan brands are not the same, some will be too sour but 4C has never disappointed me
• 5 leaves of Romaine lettuce sliced with a knife or kitchen scissors
• 4 cooked baby carrots, sliced or shredded
• 1/4 cup or a light handful of Marzetti Salt and Pepper croutons (choose your favorite flavor)
• 4 tablespoons Reduced fat Balsamic Dressing from Kens steakhouse
 

 

 
 
Method: No fuss/ very fast /easy to make
Simply make sure the food is prepared as shown in the ingredients, grate the cheese, shred the turkey and so forth.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and toss the salad. Serve and enjoy.



 
So you have leftover turkey from Thankgiving and you can have more for the rest of the week, here is a great way to turn your leftovers into a healthy and indulgent meal. You may customize this salad with your won favorite dressing but remember that my recipes are devoted to being reduced in fat and using as many metabolic ingredients as possible for weight management, so choose your dressing and your cheese wisely, it will make all the difference. Also make sure you compliment the flavors well by not using any ingredient you would not eat with turkey or in a salad. Enjoy it as a meal for lunch or dinner and enjoy your turkey all over again!
