This is something I came up with because I knew that there will be mountains
of leftover turkey or chicken in the coming months.  The one man staff of
the DOG HOUSE is in a never-ending search for new and simple ways of making
said leftovers interesting...and ass kickin’!  I did not put in the
ingredient amounts because amounts of leftover chicken/turkey will vary from
house to house.

MAD DOG’S SMOKIN’ CHICKEN/TURKEY SALAD

Ingredients:

Chopped turkey or chicken (I like to remove all skin from carcass.)
Chopped celery
Finely chopped Vidalia onion
Chopped red bell pepper
1-2 tsp. cilantro
Juice of a fresh lemon
Chipotle power to taste (I would like to give a shameless plug to Jim C.’s
version from Mild to Wild.)
Mayonnaise

Mix all ingredients together, then chill for at least 30 minutes before
serving.  I like to serve this on a bed of romaine lettuce and tomato
wedges.  If desired, garnish the salad with fresh jalapeno slices.

Hmm, I wonder how this would be stuffed into roasted pablanos.

Enjoy...and happy turkey day!
