Salad - Turkey Salad

Whether you call it Chop Salad or Chopped Salad, this full meal favorite stars on many restaurant menus, and is a great make-ahead salad for entertaining or everyday. Almost any ingredient that can be chopped into cubes works here, so keep the recipe in mind for leftovers: roast beef, or pork, or poultry, any cooked vegetable, and any bits of cheese you might have in the fridge. And consider rolling the chop salad up in a large tortilla for a great, and portable, wrap meal. Avocado adds its wonderful texture and nutty flavor. 

Seasoned ground turkey is tossed with black beans, lettuce, tomato, tortilla chips, and dressing. 

Try this recipe with your leftover Thanksgiving turkey for Friday afternoon sandwiches. 

Great for leftover Thanksgiving turkey! I threw it together and decided to write down the measurements. Everyone loved it! For a kick add more jalapeno pepper! 

Any mild white cheese can be substituted for the Monterey Jack. 

This recipe is most treasured because it's from my husband's grandmother. A savory turkey salad is cleverly topped with cranberry-raspberry gelatin for an eye-catching dish. --Kim Kirven, Wadsworth, Ohio
