What You’ll Need

2 1/2 cups of leftover turkey– I like a combo of white meat and dark meat.Mayonnaise– Use Miracle Whip if you prefer.Apple Cider Vinegar– Just a touch perks up the flavor. Lemon juice can be used instead.Celery Salt– adds awesome flavor.Black PepperGreen Onion– red onion can be used instead.Celery– for some crunch. Omit if you don’t like celery.Dried cranberries– for sweetness. Halved red grapes can be used instead.Toasted Pecans– toasted walnuts or almonds can be used instead.Food Processor– to chop the turkey. How much or how little is up to you. You can leave it in bigger chuncks or process it into very small pieces.
