Tarragon Turkey Salad with Pecans & Cranberries

tarr3-710This is a great leftover meal for all that turkey and trimmings. You can serve it on a dense wheat bread, a pita, or on a green salad. It tastes even better as it sits, so make it ahead. A real crowd pleaser! Thanks to Katie from the Parsley Thief  for this delicious idea! She made it with chicken but its just as good with turkey.
