I don’t know dad, but I do love being able to play with the turkey leftovers.

The yogurt provides the tang, the mayonnaise the creaminess.

Feel free to substitute at will between the two depending on your preference.

Options: for a little more zing, add a little mango chutney to the dressing.

Do not linger too long over the heat or the curry powder will start to toast.

The point of this step is to heat it enough to release more of its flavor.

you could easily skip this step if you are in a hurry.

In a large bowl, mix the curry powder, yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and ground ginger.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve on a bed of lettuce greens or in a sandwich.
