If you're wondering what to do in 48 hours when you're left with pounds of leftovers, or just looking for something simple, versatile and really good to bring your lunch game to the next level, try this: Turkey or chicken salad sandwich, with all the fixings of a complete fall feast.
To prepare, shred or cube leftover roasted poultry, mix with a bit of mayo (we use a vegan version), and a small amount of Dijon mustard (1/2 a teaspoon, or so, for one sandwich), and stir until well combined.
Toss in crunchy celery chunks and a handful of dried cranberries, and pile on to whole grain or whole wheat sourdough toast, with a layer of thinly sliced apples for some extra acidy, juiciness and crunch.
If you like apples, you probably have your own favorite varieties, but if you're looking for suggestions, try a Piñata red, a Honey Crisp, or a green Granny Smith. Asian pear slices also work really well and add a nice twist.
You may never look at a bird, or your lunch bag, the same way again.
