We Love Turkey Leftovers!

We know there tends to be a lot of food at Thanksgiving! If your family is anything like ours, we usually have lots of Thanksgiving leftovers, especially our main dish! We don’t mind having extra Roast Turkey meat, because we have so many leftover turkey recipes. We love to whip up a turkey sandwich topped with Fresh Cranberry Sauce and gravy, a turkey casserole, or a pan of turkey enchiladas! Homemade turkey stock is a great way to use every scrap; after all of that work, you don’t want a single tasty morsel to go to waste!
