One of the best things about the holidays is all of the food. Obviously seeing friends, family and loved ones is what the holidays are all about, but what’s better than a giant feast to go with that?
Unfortunately, that giant feast might not get completely eaten. And then someone is stuck (blessed?) with the leftovers. It can get a bit tiring to eat the same leftovers over and over, and lots of people are creating all sorts of new and interesting ways to recreate their holiday dishes.
A few days ago, I gave you a few different ways to cook up your turkey for a big holiday meal. Now, I’m bringing you LOADS of ways to use up that turkey. After the dessert has been served, the table cleaned up and the guests have gone home, check out these recipes. That turkey won’t be filling up your fridge for too long!
