Ingredients
  

For The Cranberries:

  • 3/4 cup cranberries or 1/2 cup cooked cranberry sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup

For The Yogurt Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 ounce fresh chives thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and Freshly ground black pepper

For The Turkey Waldorf Salad:

  • 2 cups shredded cooked turkey or chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups grapes halved
  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1 cup diced Fuji apple (can use another sweet apple)
  • 1/2 cup pecans toasted

Instructions
 

  • Cook The Cranberries: If you don't have cranberry sauce, you'll have to briefly cook the cranberries. Place the cranberries in a medium saucepan with 3 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries just collapse, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly before using. 
    TIP: Cranberries can be cooked in advance. Let cool and store refrigerated in an airtight container until ready to use.
  • Make The Yogurt Dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, crème fraîche, yogurt, vinegar, maple or honey, and a pinch of each salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, taste, and add more salt and pepper, as needed. 
    TIP: Dressing can be made up to two days ahead of time. Store refrigerated in an airtight container and add the fresh chives just before usinig.
  • Assemble The Waldorf Salad: Toss the turkey in the dressing until it is well coated then divide among serving plates and scatter each with the grapes, celery, apple, pecans, and cranberry and serve.
