Wild Ed's Chicken, Turkey, Ham, Tuna, Shrimp and Crab Salads Recipe

After the Holiday dinner we often had turkey, ham or other meats left over. I tend to let the dark meat of turkey or chicken sit in the refrigerator for too long as it is not my favorite. So here is a way to use those meats that I enjoy. Sometimes I just want to put together something in a hurry and use a canned meat from the pantry. This recipe allows one to be creative and add or leave out ingredients to create just the taste you like. Hope you will enjoy it and make it your own however you like.

About 12 ounces of meat well drained

2-3 celery stalks chopped

½ to 1 cup of Craisins as desired

½ to 1 cup of seedless red grapes quartered as desired

½ to 1 cup of favorite grated cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of allspice

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ cup of mayonnaise or as needed to achieve consistency desired

• Optional add chopped walnuts or pecans

• If using shrimp or crab sprinkle with old bay seasoning to taste

• You can serve this on a salad, crackers or make sandwiches. The crab or shrimp is great on toasted rolls or as subs.

• A great way to use leftover turkey and holiday meats
