Regular turkey leftovers are great, but usually after 1 plate, I'm ready to call it quits. Here are some other ways to use your leftover turkey in a more novel, make-over sort of way.
**One important note**: check out the USDA Guidelines on Leftovers, since no one wants to offer their family turkey leftovers past their prime!
Top Ten Turkey Leftovers Make-Overs:
1. Enchiladas: We have several different variations, but these Olive and Turkey (or Chicken) Enchiladas are a family favorite. Feel free to mix up the recipe with your favorite flavors!
2. Thai Wraps: Use turkey in this Thai Peanut Wrap recipe in lieu of tofu, and taste your turkey completely transformed by a delicious Thai peanut sauce.
3. Peppadew and Feta Pasta: Turkey tastes great with Italian flavors, which are bold and zesty in this recipe. Replace 1/2 or all of the sausage with turkey.
4. Slow Cooker White Chili: Our favorite white chili recipe couldn't be easier to make! Omit the chicken and add cooked turkey!
5. Curried Turkey Salad: Just like a chicken salad recipe, but with turkey...and the rich, bold and vibrant flavors of curry.
6. Quiche: Yes everyone, even real men, will eat *this* quiche. It is delicious with ham, but try it with your turkey leftovers for a new twist!
7. Taqueria Tacos: Cook your turkey leftovers in the same marinade that is used in this Carnitas recipe, and serve with corn tortillas and toppings.
8. Unique Paninis: Sure, a panini is still a sandwich, but to me it is a sandwich elevated, not just a typical turkey leftovers type of sandwich.
9. Slow Cooker Lightened Gumbo: Add turkey to this recipe and start feeling Cajun!
10. Barbecue Turkey Pizza: Why don't I have a picture for this dish on my blog? This is the boys' favorite way to use leftover chicken or turkey. Use barbecue sauce instead of pizza sauce, and then layer with shredded turkey, a little corn, bell peppers and red onion. Top with cheese and once cooked, sprinkle with cilantro. Yum.
Any of these recipes will transport your turkey leftovers way beyond just regular ole' turkey and stuffing leftovers. Now my only question is: which one will you choose first?
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Life is sweet,

Happy Thanksgiving Gina!!
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
