Thanksgiving Leftovers!!



Ah yes! Something often feared by many Thanksgiving dinner hosts is a fridge full of the traditional fixings and the remains of a 20+ pound bird. So the first few days after the big meal you decide to have some turkey with a few of the sides. You may even resort to a turkey sandwich or chop up some of the turkey and make some soup. But soon, you find yourself longing for something else. It's food you do not want to waste but you just don't want it anymore! Freezing it is always an option but then you have to find something to eat. Catch 22!

I've done a little digging and have found some clever recipes to take the monotony out of your post turkey day meals. Let me know if you make any of these recipes! I will admit, some of them of them are a little on the heavy side so use your own discretion. And don't forget that you can always go for a 30 minute walk after you've finished you meal. Enjoy!
