Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. In the spirit of trying to recover from the holiday here's something I wrote a couple of years ago. It seems kind of appropriate for today.
Back with something new Monday!

So...sick of turkey yet?
I know most of you may be thinking to yourself, “Turkey? TURKEY? I hope I never see one of those perpetual leftover machines AGAIN”. But not me. For some reason, cold, leftover turkey is one of my favorite foods of all time. It’s low in fat and high in protein, and for some reason, I think the taste of cold turkey on whole wheat bread (with just a touch of Dijon mustard) is one of the best things on the face of the Earth.
But like I said, I know that YOU may not feel the same way about leftover turkey, especially in the next few days, when you may have been dealing with said leftovers for most of the weekend. So, in light of that, and knowing that you may soon be running out of ideas on what to do with the eight pounds of it still sitting in your fridge, here’s a list I came up with a couple of years ago, a list of everything you may not have tried yet with your leftovers (or, at least, everything I could think of a span of about 15 seconds). Here we go--
Turkey chili
Turkey tacos
Turkey pot pies
Turkey pasties
Turkey casserole
Turkey croquets
Turkey canapés
Turkey jerky
Turkey latte
Turkey nog
Turkey & cranberry smoothies
Turkey bread
Turkey granola
German turkey cake
Turkey and dark chocolate cookies
Turkey & sweet potato jam
Home-made turkey Pop Tarts
And. . .
Frozen turkey doorstops.
There. Now don’t say I never do anything for you.
