Looking for recipes to use up leftover turkey? How about this turkey, cream cheese, apple & celery, pecan and mizuna on rye recipe? Turkey meat is really good for you – high in protein and incredibly low in saturated fat. So why not give some lighter style dishes a try instead of the usual heavy curry or turkey pie? Turkey has a tendency to be dry, so always make sure you pair it with something to give it moisture. A fresh turkey salad with juicy pomegranate seeds, or an Asian salad with fresh Clementine slices and a honey and soy dressing would be the perfect antidote to all that gravy and stodge. Or try pairing it with some Moroccan flavours like aubergine and spicy harissa for some winter warming flavour.
