Leftover Turkey Recipes Roundup

Since I haven’t been cooking much lately and am still (yes, still!) struggling to get over this cold/ sinus infection/ cough, I thought I’d do a little recipe roundup on the blog today.

With Thanksgiving coming up in a few days, I figured you guys are pretty much set for Thanksgiving recipes. So I am going to share some leftover turkey recipes that I found around the far corners of the internet.

15 Leftover Turkey Recipes - 15 awesomely delicious ways to use up all that leftover turkey! | APinchOfHealthy.com

A good old turkey sandwich is pretty hard to beat, in my humble opinion! And it always makes me think of that episode of Friends where Ross has to go to anger management after he flips out when somebody ate his leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwich at work.

Bwahahahaha! And then there was the one with Joey’s Thanksgiving pants. Classic!

Oh, I miss that show so much! Okay, I digress. Let me stop all this digressing before I go totally off-the-rails.

So yes, leftover turkey recipes!

If you are looking to create some new show stoppers with your leftover turkey, this list might be what you are needing for some inspiration.

The first few on this list are some of my own recipes that you easily could modify to use turkey instead of chicken.

      Thanks Jen! 🙂 A lot of stores put turkeys on sale this time of year. You could always snap one up and put it in the freezer for later. I know of a few people who buy a bunch of hams and turkeys this time of year, freeze them and eat off them all year.
