This cold salad is one of my wife, Cheryl's, favorite ways to eat wild turkey. We mix up a batch anytime we have leftover turkey breast from another dish. It's so good, we even cook some up just for this recipe on occasion.
The raisins and dried cranberries give the salad a bit of sweetness, the tart dressing and onions make it a little savory, and the pecans give it some crunch. Serve it on your favorite bread, but we love it on a sliced, fresh-from-the-bakery croissant. Drizzle a bit of honey over it for an added layer of flavor.
