When you can't eat another plain turkey breast, here's a flavorful, colorful recipe for you to try. It's special enough for casual dinner parties but also easy enough for mid-week meals. You can make the corn salad a day in advance - the flavors will enhance the longer it marinates. You can also skip roasting the corn to slash the recipe's cook time.
