This salad is a post-Thanksgiving favorite at our house, when we’re looking for interesting ways to use up the turkey leftovers. It’s filling, but not heavy, with a variety of fresh textures and flavors. And the curry dressing is bright and tangy. This salad is perfect after a day of Thanksgiving feasting.
Prepare the dressing by combining the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Gradually add the oil while stirring with a whisk, until well blended. Cover and refrigerate. This can be made a day in advance.
Combine the broth, wild rice, butter, salt, and black pepper in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Combine cooked rice, turkey, celery, carrots, cranberries, and red onion in a large bowl. If serving the salad right away, add the almonds. Otherwise hold off until you are ready to serve. Add half the dressing and toss to coat. Add more dressing as needed and store the remainder in the refrigerator. If this salad becomes leftovers, the rice really soaks up the dressing. I like to drizzle a little more dressing on before serving again.

Easy to make, but the wait was long. My idea of leftovers is “fast”. Oh, but it was delish! I would make this dish again, even if I don’t have left turkey.
