Leftover Turkey Harvest Cobb Salad
Description
Leftover Turkey Harvest Cobb Salad brings together diced butternut squash roasted until tender and caramelized, along with strips of cooked turkey breast and crumbled bacon layered over a bed of spring mix lettuce. The dressing, made from Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, and olive oil, adds bright acidity balanced with a subtle sweetness that complements the roasted vegetables and savory meats.
Textural variety comes from pecan halves for crunch and craisins for chewy bursts of sweetness, while crumbled feta cheese adds a creamy, tangy note. This salad is composed with simple roasting and assembly, making it a good way to transform holiday turkey leftovers into a filling main or side dish for lunch or dinner.
The ingredients and dressing can be prepared ahead to speed assembly. Roasting the squash until golden and tender enhances its sweetness, creating a pleasant contrast to the tangy dressing and salty bacon. Serving chilled or at room temperature fits a range of meal settings.
