6 Favorite Recipes Using Leftover Turkey

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

There’s nothing like a perfectly roasted turkey to put the ‘thanks’ into Thanksgiving! And while some may opt for just the right size bird to avoid excessive leftovers, I beg to differ. I say get the biggest bird you can afford (and that will fit into your roasting pan).

Why? Well if you’re a fan of the Cook Once, Eat Twice strategy, those excessive leftovers mean less work when preparing future meals.

That’s because roasted turkey makes a wonderful replacement for chicken in most recipes. And it can easily be kept fresh by dividing it into 1-to-2 cup portions and placing it into freezer bags, or freezer-safe containers. Then, you’ll have a convenient supply of pre-cooked turkey on hand to create quick and healthy meals like the ones shared below.

6 Healthy & Delicious Ways

Praise be to God for the bounty of His provision and His wonderful mercy and grace through Jesus Christ! May your Thanksgiving be especially blessed!

Joyfully (and thankfully) serving HIM, Kelly
