5 Fun Recipes For Your Turkey Leftovers
Got a fridge full of turkey? Feeling uninspired? Get those creative juices flowing with these delicious, diet-friendly recipes.
Some of them call for chicken or ground turkey. Simply swap that with yesterday’s carved turkey to give your old bird new wings.
Turkey Santa Fe Lettuce Wraps from Skinnytaste
Sunday Slow-Cooker: Apple BBQ Pulled Turkey from Slender Kitchen
Skinny Chick-en (err Turkey) Salad
Sweet & Savory Enchiladas from Brit & Co.
I would suggest replacing the sour cream with FF Greek Yogurt for an healthy upgrade, and leaving off the cranberry sauce if yours is loaded with sugar.
And one *extra* recipe, yesterday’s Sweet Potato Pumpkin Turkey Chili!
Just skip the step of browning the ground turkey and throw your already cooked, carved turkey into the pot with the other ingredients.
Enjoy your three day weekend!

Not a big turkey fan but I will definitely be making a frittata and chicken salad next week! I need to go through your site more. You have awesome, easy recipes! Thank you for sharing Haylie Duff’s site too. Was pretty neutral on her but love a girl who eats well! :)

I felt the same way about her until I checked out her site. She seems like a very cool, down-to-earth girl. Hope you enjoy the recipes!

Great ideas! I’m ogling the Apple BBQ Turkey. I need a slow cooker!
Whitney English says:
I know! I just started using mine and this is going to be my next adventure with it!
Lindsey D says:
That turkey frittata looks great. Making chili out of leftovers is also an excellent idea. I usually just make sandwiches, soup and turkey enchiladas.
Whitney English says:
Mmmmm enchiladas are my favorite. You just gave me another idea for this week’s meals!
Davida @ The Healthy Maven says:
My leftovers are currently being cooked into soup! If there’s anything left I’m going to use it in that chicken (eer-turkey) salad ;)
Whitney English says:
Oh I hope you have some leftover then :) And be sure to share your soup recipe!!
