leftover turkey

How do you use up your leftover turkey?

People think that with 9 children we must eat a lot of food. Well, we do eat more than the average American family, but no as much as you might think. Of course, that will probably change when they get older. (We'll have 3 boys in a row entering their teens - whoa!). But for now, they are still pretty young and so their helpings are still small.

So that means we did in fact have leftover turkey.

We picked all the turkey off the bones and put it in the refrigerator. The next day we had macaroni and cheese with turkey in it.

Then we had turkey and cheese quesadillas.

And third, we had turkey in mixed vegetables and brown rice.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of any of these delicious turkey leftover recipes. :)

And that sums up our turkey leftovers. Simple, easy and we all liked them.

So what did you do with your leftover turkey?


Until next time...

I used the turkey carcass and meat scraps to make a DELICIOUS soup! You have to try the recipe, Jen, it was so good! (check out my review first, though, because I do think one or two changes are necessary) http://www.recipezaar.com/Williamsburg-Inn-Turkey-Soup-48917
