Hide the Turkey! Part 1

It's November 1! We're only 26 days until Thanksgiving and I'm already thinking turkey!

I do love turkey, but there's always that perennial puzzle of what to do with those leftovers!

This month, I'm going to feature some recipes that you can use that leftover turkey for with stuff that's probably already in your own kitchen! And keep in mind...if something catches your eye, you can always use turkey or chicken right now and give a recipe a trial run!

Curried Turkey Salad

3 C cubed cooked turkey
1 1/2 seedless grapes, halved
4 celery stalks, chopped - if you really need to ~ Mary doesn't do celery
2/3 C mayo - real mayo - not Miracle Whip
2 T lemon juice
1-2 t curry powder
1/2 t salt
1 t sugar
1/2 C salted peanuts - optional. But having salted peanuts is important.

In a large bowl, add turkey, grapes and celery. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, juice, curry, salt and sugar. Pour over turkey mixture and mix until coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour. Give it time to marinate, so to speak. If you want to use peanuts, add to salad just before serving so they don't get soggy.

Enjoy!
