Pesto Turkey Salad
Susan Dopart
Need a new idea for turkey leftovers? Here's a variation on the usual turkey salad. The pesto gives it a great flavor and the celery, pecans and pomegranate seeds give it a nice crisp crunch! Packed with protein, fiber, phytonutrients and monounsaturated fat - this is one to help if you ate a BIT too much over the holiday!
