Turkey at the Waldorf

Here is another fun idea for using up cooked turkey. Hope you are not still eating left-overs from Thanksgiving! However if turkey is on the menu for Christmas, sock this back for a surprising brunch fare. 
 

The classic Waldorf salad of apple and nuts gets re-reinforcements in the form of protein rich turkey and lightened with non fat yogurt in the traditional mayonnaise.




Ingredients:
1 – 2 cups cooked turkey cubed
1 apple (Gala or Macintosh) peeled and chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
½ chopped pecans
2 stalks celery chopped
1 5oz non-fat plain Greek style yogurt
3 Tbs light mayonnaise
2 tsp maple syrup
salt & pepper as needed

Directions:

Do your cutting. Cut up the turkey in ½ inch cubes. Peel the apple and cut into the same sized pieces. Chop the celery. Place in a large bowl.

Next stir in the cranberries and pecans, the cover with a damp paper towel. This keeps the apple bits from turning brown.


In a bowl mix together the yogurt and mayonnaise. Stir in the syrup.
Taste before adding the salt (¼ tsp) and pepper. Adjust to your liking. Then blend into the salad mix. Cover with plastic and sit in refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to merge the flavors.

This wonderful mixture can be served on a leaf of lettuce, in a sandwich or just about any way you could choose to serve a salad. The unexpected taste of turkey will impress your guests. Try something wild and serve in a pear half!
