TURKEY WALDORF SALAD
This is not your classic Waldorf salad, which is traditionally a mélange of apples, celery, raisins, walnuts and grapes in a thick mayonnaise-based dressing. Here, the dressing, thinned out and lightened with yogurt, is spiced with curry and cumin, and the salad mix includes a generous amount of chopped radicchio or endive, which bring a bitter dimension into the mix. This salad is also an excellent home for leftover Thanksgiving turkey.

ROASTED TURKEY OR CHICKEN BREAST AND WALNUT SALAD
This is a very simple recipe, and tastes delicious. I just whipped it up with ingredients on hand, and wanted to record it to refer to next time. It's great for the South Beach diet, too. I used left over turkey breast (my standby - Herbed Turkey Breast by Kate in Ontario #22235). Note to World Tour participants - California is a large producer of walnuts. This recipe represent that state.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender, then drain and leave to cool a little. Cut the potatoes into thick slices. Mix together the yogurt, mustard and lime zest. Toss the potatoes with 4 tbsp of the dressing and 3 tbsp of the onion.
- Put the turkey in a medium bowl and toss with the oil, then cook in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for 10 mins, turning at least once until the turkey is cooked through.
- When you're ready to serve, mix half the lettuce, watercress, half of the remaining onion and 1 of the peppers in a bowl. Top with half the potatoes, and slice and pile on half the turkey. Toss the avocado with a good squeeze of lime, then scatter half on top with half the grapes and half the walnuts. Spoon over half of the remaining dressing.
- If packing this into lunchboxes, do the same with the remaining ingredients in the lunchboxes, but in reverse, so the green salad is at the top. Keep the dressing in a pot separately, to drizzle over just before eating. Will keep chilled for two days.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose ripe walnuts, celery, and red onion, and use a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing.
- If you don't have leftover cooked turkey, you can roast or grill a turkey breast specifically for this salad. Just be sure to let it cool completely before assembling the salad.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to your salad, such as dried cranberries, chopped apples, or crumbled blue cheese. You can also switch up the dressing with a vinaigrette or yogurt-based sauce.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling it, or chill it for a few hours before serving. The flavors will meld together and the salad will be even more delicious the next day.
Conclusion:
Turkey walnut salad is a delicious and versatile salad that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a side dish. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, and it's a great way to use up leftover turkey. With its creamy dressing, crunchy walnuts, and sweet-tart cranberries, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
