After Thanksgiving Turkey Recipe Ideas

Thanksgiving was lovely, I prepared the turkey, three pans of homemade baked macaroni and cheese, six sweet potato pies (My MIL recipe), homemade brown gravy, collard greens, stuffing, sweet potato soufflés, my sister prepared rice and peas and brought salad and my niece prepared sweet potato pudding, my oldest daughter prepared banana pudding and my youngest daughter baked two chocolate cakes with her cousin. We had an amazing spread. Even though we went for seconds and thirds, we didn’t finish the turkey.

So, what do you do with your Turkey if you don’t consume it all on Thanksgiving Day? Our bird was a twenty ponder and by Saturday I was looking for recipes to create and prepare using our leftover turkey. My teenage son decided to make turkey tacos on Saturday. He took soft tortillas and filled them with rice and peas, turkey, mozzarella cheese and added BBQ sauce because he puts that on EVERYTHING! On Saturday I decided to make a turkey salad with some organic mixed greens, turkey, and Marzetti Simply Dressed Ginger Sesame.

So, please share your after Thanksgiving turkey recipe ideas and enjoy some pictures from my Thanksgiving and my after Thanksgiving turkey dishes. Enjoy…
