Turkey and Cranberry Tarragon Salad


Yield: 4 servings

French tarragon 
Faire du camping (to go camping) correctly the grassahaven team likes to infuse a little French influence into our cooking.  Tarragon, one of the four French fines herbes, is a distinctive herb, with a slight anise or licorice aroma.  But don’t let the licorice flavor concern you.  It is perfect for pairing with turkey and cranberries to make a fresh salad for lunch.  Use your left over turkey or chicken.  Bon Appétit
