Everyone loves turkey leftovers! I purposely roasted a larger turkey in order to have leftovers. I make sandwiches, more recipes, freeze it, and just do a delicious thanksgiving repeat meal. Many recipes that call for cooked chicken can be substituted with cooked turkey. Here are some delicious clean eating recipes for leftover turkey.
Paleo Turkey & Vegetable Soup: This is a standard comforting soup for the cold weather with a little bit of a twist.
Turkey Barley Soup (Crock Pot): Here is another delicious soup idea that can be make in the crock pot!
Turkey Cranberry Salad: Upgrade your typical turkey sandwich with this delicious alternative.
Healthier Cobb Salad: This salad would be delicious with cooled cubed leftover turkey. The recipe includes a Lemon Dijon Salad Dressing HERE.
