How Do You Be Creative And Use That Leftover Holiday Turkey/Recipe Included?
If you get sick of Turkey, stuffing, and green bean casserole reheated on a plate in the microwave, here are some great ideas for you to enjoy your leftovers in many different ways. Just remember soup, salad, and sandwich.
