- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar

- In a dry sauté pan, over medium heat toast pecans for five minutes.
- Remove to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, place turkey meat.
- Turn to low and blend just long enough to break up the meat so that it gets a little stringy but not pulverized.

- Mix to combine then fold in dried cranberries and serve chilled.
