Keto Turkey Rice Christmas Salad
This delicious and simple salad is a great way to use up any Keto Christmas turkey leftovers. Our easy low carb salad combines cauliflower rice, peppery arugula, dried cranberries, leftover turkey, and sliced prosciutto with a zesty orange and mustard dressing. This makes a great low carb lunch or light dinner option to enjoy over the holidays.
Can I Use a Different Ham?
We have used prosciutto to add a touch of luxury to our seasonal Keto salad. This is also a great opportunity to use up any leftover holiday ham you may have in the fridge. You can use any kind of cold ham you prefer; just be sure to adjust your macros accordingly to account for any changes in ingredients.
What Kind of Turkey Meat Should I Use?
We have used cold leftover turkey pieces for our Christmas Keto recipe. This can be any cut of cold turkey you prefer, but the dark meat will be more flavorful and provide a fattier cut of meat. You could also substitute for cold chicken if preferred, again using dark chicken meat for more flavor and fats.
