| 3 cups | water |
| 1 cup | wild rice |
| 1/4 tsp | dried rosemary |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1/3 cup | dried sweetened cranberries |
| 1/4 cup | chopped pecans |
| 1 small | shallot (minced) |
| 2 | ribs celery |
| 1/4 ounce | red bell pepper (diced) |
| 12 ounces | roasted turkey breast (cut into cubes) |
| 1/2 cup | reduced fat mayonnaise |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
In a medium sauce pan, heat the water, salt and rosemary. When the water boils, stir in the wild rice.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 15 minutes.
Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When the rice is cool add the cranberries, pecans, shallots, celery, red pepper, turkey breast, mayonnaise and salt to the bowl and fold together gently. Chill for at least 40 minutes.

The refrigerator light goes on...
While this is perfect for that leftover holiday turkey this is a fantastic recipe that you can use almost any meat with. Try leftover roasted chicken breast, flank steak or pork tenderloin. Even though it’s a chilled salad it is a great part of a cold weather meal because of the hearty ingredients.
