Leftover turkey is quite possibly more precious than the Thanksgiving turkey dinner itself. After proclaiming to be “stuffed” from the afternoon meal, everyone always seems to find room for a second round of food with turkey sandwiches in the evening. If you’re lucky enough to have any remaining turkey after your guests head home, try this turkey tetrazzini recipe.
It’s a great day-after Thanksgiving meal. Because it’s a creamy pasta, your family feels like they are truly getting something different vs. leftovers. Pair it with a cheesy garlic bread, made by layering Shamrock Farms French Onion Sour Cream, garlic salt and cheese, then broiling until brown and bubbly! This garlic bread topping has such a rich flavor, that this is a great way to repurpose any leftover bread/rolls from Thanksgiving!
