When it comes to planning a holiday feast, our family tends to have bigger eyes than stomachs, how about you? I don't know how we manage to do this every year, but between my parents and I, we make twice as much food as we need!

The benefit of going overboard of course is days of light cooking duties because of all of the leftovers.

Here's a quick and easy way to use up some of those turkey leftovers—a Turkey Waldorf Salad, with apples and celery like the classic Waldorf, but with toasted pecans instead of walnuts, and dried sweetened cranberries instead of grapes.

The salad comes together quickly with a sweet tangy honey mayo sour cream dressing.
