We have had 2 of our 3 Thanksgiving dinners now, I cooked a turkey with the trimmings last week, on Sunday we celebrated with my side of the family and this week we will celebrate with my husband's side. How lucky is that? Here is a great recipe to use up all the turkey leftovers (and the leftovers from the veggie tray), it tastes great with chicken too.
Leftover Oriental Salad
1 recipe Oriental Dressing (from Nourishing Traditions Cookbook)
2 c. chopped leftover poultry meat
assorted leftover raw veggies; green onion, red bell pepper, celery, shredded carrots, steamed broccoli, etc.
1 c. steamed white rice (omit if your diet doesn't allow grains)
2 T. toasted sesame seeds
5-6 c. torn or finely cut romaine lettuce leaves
Combine everything but the dressing and lightly toss. Top with dressing (you probably won't use all of it) and serve immediately.
