Roasted Turkey, Dried Cherries and Barley Summer Salad is a
great way to use leftover turkey, not spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and
provides a healthy meal for dinner and/or lunch. In a previous blog I talked
about how to spit and roast a turkey on your grill. This recipe is a great way
to use some of the turkey leftovers in a fresh and interesting way.
Many salads, like the Roasted Turkey, Dried Cherries and
Barley Summer Salad, can be made ahead of time, even the day before, or in the
morning so that at the end of the day when we are tired and not so motivated to
cook, especially during the summer, we have something ready to go. Making
salads earlier in the day also avoids adding heat at the hottest time of the
day.
