Cooking
If you ask me, the second best thing about Thanksgiving is not the dinner itself, but the leftovers. I like turkey a lot, especially its amazing versatility. Leftover turkey, even dry, overcooked turkey, is good in soups, salads, sandwiches, stews, smothered in sauce or topped with a poached or fried egg.
Here are my suggestions for how to use leftover turkey. I've linked to recipes that I think look solid, but feel free to use your own or your imagination!
Turkey Pot Pie
Turkey Mole
Turkey Enchiladas
Turkey Mushroom Crepes
Turkey Quesadillas
Turkey Barley Soup
Turkey Hash
Turkey Salad
Turkey Noodle Soup
Turkey Cobb Salad
Turkey Gumbo
Turkey Posole
