SERVES: 3

Whether we're using leftover turkey or we pick up some deli-style turkey breast in the market, these hearty pita sandwiches go together in a snap! Tangy dried cranberries and crunchy walnuts add to the contrast of flavors and enjoyment!

What You'll Need

1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (8-ounce) bag mixed baby greens
2 cups chunked leftover or deli-style turkey
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 pita breads, cut in half

What to Do

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper; whisk until dressing is thoroughly combined and thickened.
In a large bowl, combine greens, turkey, dried cranberries, and walnuts. Pour dressing over salad and toss until evenly coated. Fill pita halves with salad, and serve.
