Turkey Cherry Pasta Salad

This recipe comes to us compliments of Essential Everyday.  When you find yourself with leftover turkey, it's the perfect way to use it up in a non-traditional way.


1 (12 oz) package Farfalle pasta
6 oz Craisins
3 cups torn up leftover turkey
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin
3/4 cup poppyseed salad dressing
1/2 cup chopped walnets (toasted) (optional)

Prepare pasta according to package directions.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  

In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cranberries, turkey, celerly and onion.  Toss with dressing until well coated.

Refrigerate, covered, several hours.  Toss with walnuts, if desired, just before serving.  

This is really good, whether after Thanksgiving or anytime you may have leftover turkey.  It's a great summertime recipe for those hot days when you don't want to heat up the house.
