Autumn Apple and Turkey Salad - Healthy, Flavorful Recipe! (2024)

Do you remember that succulent Slow-Cooker BBQ-Rubbed Turkey Breast I shared with you on Sunday? And that I told you I managed to get SIX meals out of it? For today’s #WeekdaySupper, I am sharing the first reinvention of those leftovers – Autumn Turkey & Apple Salad or Wraps, topped off with my Creamy Greek Yogurt Maple Dijon Dressing.

As part of #SundaySupper’s partnership with American Family Insurance, this week for #WeekdaySupper, five of us are taking the leftovers from our big meals and turning them into something new and fabulous… and EASY… for a quick and tasty dinner on those busy weeknights.

As a food blogger, I often plan menus and baking plans based on the season and upcoming event themes and sometimes products I am reviewing or just want to highlight. But that turkey breast I made, and today’s salads and wraps were never originally intended for the blog. Honestly, I had this turkey breast sitting in the freezer, some leftover BBQ rub in a tupperware, and I didn’t feel like putting much effort into dinner. Then a couple nights later, with piles of leftover turkey and a desperate need to go grocery shopping, I threw together these salads and wraps. But when The Hubby insisted that I must share these recipes on the blog, I had to oblige. I mean, he likes my cooking, but, I don’t know, maybe I have spoiled him (not to toot my own horn), because it isn’t often that he declares this without me asking if dinner is “blogworthy”.

Since I had turkey, I had to bring in some classic flavors of autumn with apples and cranberries. I love to pair apples with a nice sharp cheddar, and then walnuts add the perfect crunch. I had some Creamy Maple Dijon Dressing leftover, which I knew would be perfect, so no need to make another salad dressing.

I am partial to my salads, but the boys had theirs all wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla, and this dinner disappeared fro our plates as quickly as it came together.
