Salad

This curried turkey salad is a fresh, flavorful way to use up leftover turkey, or roast a breast just for it. Shredded turkey is tossed in a creamy yogurt dressing spiced with our organic Curry Powder and a pinch of cayenne, then mixed with crunchy celery, toasted pecans, sweet green grapes and fresh cilantro. The sweetness of the grapes and the nuttiness of the pecans balance the gentle heat. Serve it on greens, in a wrap or on toasted bread. Gluten-free.
