2 Leftover turkey salad recipes Use both white and dark meat. Cube or shred the leftover turkey. Toss with toasted almonds, thin slices of fresh mango and soft salad leaves. Dress with a light vinaigrette. Mix with cubed avocado, slivered yellow and red pepper, sweetcorn and halved cherry tomatoes. Dress with olive oil, whisked with lime juice and chilli.
