Notes
- Use cold shredded turkey for this recipe.
- Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop.
- Keep the salad covered in the fridge to stop the turkey from drying out.
- You can substitute dried cranberries with raisins or grapes
