Leftover Turkey Mason Jar Salads

Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced or shredded leftover turkey
  • 2 medium crisp organic apples
  • 2 cups chickpeas drained and rinsed if using canned
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sliced scallions green onions, or a small red onion
  • 1/2 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 4-6 cups chopped organic baby spinach mixed baby greens, or baby arugula (washed and air dried completely)

For the dressing:

  • 4 Tbsps freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 4 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 (28oz.) wide mouth mason jars

Instructions

  • Start by making your dressing.
  • Add all dressing ingredients to a small mixing bowl, or glass jar. Whisk or shake really well.
  • Divide dressing equally amongst 4 (28oz.) wide mouth mason jars.
  • Quickly dice your apples and add apples equally into the dressing, twirling the jar to get all the apple pieces nicely coated.
  • This will prevent your apple from browning.
  • Next, add in the chickpeas, leftover turkey, cranberries, green onions, freshly chopped parsley and pecans.
  • Fill up the jar with greens of choice.
  • Place the lids on, and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
  • When ready to serve, pour your jar-o-goodies into a bowl, toss and serve.
