4 creative ways to re-invent your Thanksgiving leftovers
4 creative ways to re-invent your Thanksgiving leftovers- I’m looking forward to roasting a turkey for Thanksgiving, but the real excitement for me lies in what’s for dinner on the days that follow. When I think of cooking for the holidays, I immediately consider the leftovers. I can’t wait to use them in all sorts of other dishes. At Thanksgiving I choose a bigger turkey than I need and I’ll do the same when I’m roasting a whole chicken, since they both lend themselves especially well to day-after-the-party meals. Leftover turkey or chicken makes dinner the next night easy on the cook and easy on the budget.
