Holiday leftovers can keep you eating well for days after the holiday is over. There's nothing wrong with that, but eating nothing but heavy carbs for days on end can be boring as well as make you feel sluggish and run down.
That's why I try to take the healthy part of a holiday meal, in this case turkey and cranberry sauce and turning it into a filling, nutritionally dense salad.
You can add whatever you like here. Croutons, diced potatoes, celery, and bacon are all great additions. I chose to add nuts for crunch and goat cheese for a creamy element that also happens to pair beautifully with the tart cranberry dressing.
