SPICY TURKEY SALAD
I love this because it's healthy and delicious, and it uses up leftover cooked turkey in an innovative way. It's great served on lettuce, or wrapped up with lettuce, tomato, and avocado in a warmed flour tortilla. I adapted it from a recipe that appeared in the Penzey's catalog a while back.

1/2 c. neufchatel cheese
1/2 c. red salsa
1 small onion, minced
1 to 2 Tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
dash of Tabasco sauce
2 c. diced cooked turkey (a mix of light and dark meat is nice)

With a fork, stir together the first eight ingredients until no more lumps of cheese remain. Add the turkey and stir to combine. Chill in refrigerator.
