You'd probably want to leave out the cayenne if you try this. Maybe substitute a pinch of allspice. This is a tasty use of leftovers, when everyone is tired of sandwiches and there's still plenty of the mammoth turkey that was a real bargain at the grocery store. Freezing leftovers is one option, but this colorful dish will make your family forget they've been eating turkey for the last few days. This salad contains less than 300 calories and about 15 grams of fat per serving.
Turkey is naturally low in fat and calories.
Much of the fat comes from the almonds, which contain about 30 grams of fat per half cup, and the salad dressing. If you're watching your intake of fat and calories, try using fat-free salad dressing to cut fat and calories or use less almonds. Before you think about what to do with the leftovers, though, keep a few food safety tips in mind as you prepare the bird. Wash your hands thoroughly before beginning preparations and after any interruption. Change the thaw water every 30 minutes to make sure it stays cold.
