ORIGINALLY POSTED NOVEMBER 26, 2011:
One of the best things about having leftovers from Thanksgiving is being able to enjoy the feast for days to come. Although we do not have Thanksgiving at home, the recipe I am posting today is one of my favorite ways to use leftover turkey, so I thought I’d post it here for you, in case you get tired of turkey sandwiches.
