Turkey cobb salad is a tasty seasonal spin on the classic cobb salad, featuring roasted turkey, butternut squash, and dried cranberries. It’s a hearty, dinner-worthy salad and makes the most of your Thanksgiving leftovers! A cobb salad is the ultimate chopped salad (and one of my personal favorites) with all of the ingredients diced into bite-sized pieces. They’re typically protein-heavy salads as they’re filled with meat, eggs, and cheese, along with a variety of vegetables, nuts, and fresh or dried fruit. In other words, they’re filling, flavorful, and have a lot of texture.
