Cape Cod Turkey Salad image

Every year when we visit friends on Cape Cod we celebrate Thanksgiving in July. I incorporated some of the fresh herbs from my friend's garden and came up with this recipe as a way to use up leftover turkey. Serve the salad on croissants, crusty rolls, or a bed of lettuce. A lighter version can be made using reduced fat mayonnaise and sour cream.

This was a great recipe! I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and it was the perfect way to use it up. The salad was flavorful and refreshing, and it was a nice change from the traditional turkey sandwich. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a good recipe. I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and it was a nice way to use it up. The salad was flavorful and refreshing, but I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cranberries next time.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey salad, but this recipe was really good. The cranberries and walnuts added a nice sweetness and crunch. I would definitely make this again.

I've made this turkey salad several times and it is always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little bit of chopped apple for sweetness and some chopped walnuts for crunch. It's the perfect salad for a summer picnic or potluck.

This recipe is similar to my grandmother's and reminded me of happy childhood memories. I used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and added some chopped celery and onion for extra crunch. It was delicious and I will definitely be making it again.
