Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Salad with Apples, Dried Cranberries & Other Stuff

x @cook_5886383

Turkeys are such big beasts. There's always enough left to make at least 2 or 3 different things with the leftovers on top of the turkey set aside for eating plain.

Whipped this up today to use up some of the breast meat. It'll be yummy in a sandwich, with salad greens, on crackers, mixed with cooked pasta with a little extra mayo, or on some of that celery you've got left over from making stuffing.

A little curry powder (up to 1 teaspoon) would also be a great addition, but I'm not feeling it today.
