It happens every Thanksgiving... What do you do with all that leftover turkey? And believe me when I say that I have a freezer full of it this year. And you know what? I'm not at al mad at it either.

In some cases, it's better than the actual Thanksgiving dinner! But, I tend to like reusing them in a clever and different way than just always reheating and eating.
This Skinny Turkey Salad is a perfect way to use up that leftover turkey after the holidays. It's a fun and healthier twist on one of my favorite chicken salads. That's chicken salad - not chicken on a salad...
