Holiday leftovers often end up in casseroles and
soups, but they are also delicious in a light but hearty salad. In
addition to leftover turkey, this recipe takes advantage of leftover
stuffing (which is transformed into crisp croutons), cranberry sauce
(which enhances the dressing) and whatever leftover roasted vegetables
you have on hand.
