Ingredients

• 2 cups leftover turkey meat, shredded
• 1 cup cashew nuts
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 2 tsp. ground five-spice powder (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. honey
• 1 fresh red chile, seeded and finely chopped
• 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro and mint leaves
• 4 cups mixed salad greens such as chicory, arugula or spinach
• 4 cups romaine lettuce
• Sections from 1 to 2 clementines
• Dressing:
• Juice of 1 clementine and 1 lime
• 1/4 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 red onion, peeled and coarsely grated
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• 1 (1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated

Directions

1. Combine turkey, nuts, cranberries and five-spice powder in a skillet; cook over medium heat 5 minutes. Add honey and chile, cook over high heat until turkey is crispy, about 3 minutes.

2. Combine cilantro, mint, salad greens and romaine in a large bowl.

3. To prepare the dressing, combine juices and onion. Add olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Whisk until well combined. Makes about 2 cups dressing.

4. Drizzle 1 cup dressing over salad and toss. Toss half of the turkey mixture with the salad and transfer to a platter.

5. Spoon remaining turkey mixture and clementine sections over the top of the salad and add another drizzle of dressing. (Reserve remaining dressing for another use.)
