How to Enjoy Leftover Turkey – over 10 recipes!
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers especially turkey leftovers more than the actual Thanksgiving meal. I just love how creative you can get with them. Plus, I love a sandwich and turkey is so versatile in sandwiches as you can see below.
As well, if you cook a large hen instead of turkey, chicken works just as well in any of these recipes.
