One of my favorite things to do with leftover Thanksgiving turkey is to make this excellent turkey salad for use as a sandwich filling or scoop on a green salad. When it’s not Tukey time, I often find myself making it throughout the year with leftover chicken, or even tempeh. This salad makes for an easy lunch for your family and guests alike. The grapes could be swapped for mango, or even golden raisins, either which provide a sweetness which complements the spice of the curry so well.
