Hot Turkey or Chicken Cranberry Salad

[Kayelle]

This was requested at the dinner thread. I've been so hungry for a tasty casserole lower in carbs. It can be served on top of rice, noodles or dressing . I liked it on top of wilted spinach.

Hot Turkey or Chicken Cranberry Salad

In a large bowl, combine:
4 cups of cooked chicken or turkey
4 large celery ribs, sliced thin
4 green onions sliced with some green remaining
3 cups of fresh coarse chop cranberries (I keep them in the freezer for all year cooking)
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 cup of skillet toasted walnut pieces
1/2 lb of grated Swiss cheese (for the top)

In a small bowl combine:
1 can of Cream of Chicken soup
1/2 cup of cream or whole milk
1/2 cup of mayo
2 tsp. of poultry seasoning
1/2 tsp. of lemon pepper

Mix the two bowls together and pour into a buttered 9x13 pan. Sprinkle on the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Just to repeat: It can be served on top of rice, noodles or dressing if you don't mind simple carbs. It was very good on top of wilted spinach.

Very satisfying and tasty.

This sounds delicious, Kay! A bit like my Christmas in July casserole, minus the dressing.

Oooh, this sounds good, Kay. I always make sure I'm stocked up with cranberries too, they're a lot easier to find during the holidays. Thank you for sharing - copied and saved!

It does sound good e.g. the various textures but reads more like an oven bake than a salad.

When I saw the title I was thinking it might be some kind of cooked turkey with chilli and lime dressing in a salad.

Thanks ladies. Yes, I thought the title makes it worth a look, calling it a hot salad instead of a casserole.

Do you get Gail's artisan bakery in US? They do specialist breads. Also sandwiches (using their bread) amongst other baked goods.

They do a great turkey sandwich on cranberry bread with a red cabbage coleslaw inside...
