Cheesy Hot Turkey Salad

SERVES: 6

COOK TIME: 40 Min

This Cheesy Hot Turkey Salad is one of our favorite salad recipes to make as the weather gets colder. The melted cheese helps keep us toasty warm while the good-for-you turkey adds that necessary bit of protein into our diet. We love putting this on a salad or in a wrap and bringing it to school or work for an easy homemade meal. If you've only tried chicken or tuna salad, you'll definitely want to make room for this delicious turkey variety.

What You'll Need

3 cups deli turkey breast, chunked
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 (5-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon onion, grated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
1 cup cornflakes, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
