Serve chili with leftover rolls, muffins,\u00a0and bread from Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Or keep with the Mexican theme and make a few cheese quesadillas.\u00a0 If you have a crowd, it’s easy to make several quesadillas at a time in the oven.\u00a0 Simply spray one side of each tortilla with cooking spray.\u00a0 Place sprayed side down on a cookie sheet.\u00a0 Sprinkle shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla and then fold in half.\u00a0 Broil in\u00a0a preheated\u00a0oven for 3 minutes or until cheese melts.\u00a0 Cut each tortilla into three wedges.<\/p>\n
My\u00a0other favorite recipe is Turkey Tacos – so good!\u00a0 It’s another easy and tasty way to use leftover turkey.\u00a0 As the turkey is simmering, chop a few tomatoes and shred some lettuce.\u00a0 If you have kids, this can be a great job for them.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\nRemember\u00a0that turkey leftovers should be refrigerated or frozen within 2 hours. \u00a0Refrigerated leftover turkey needs to be eaten within three to four days.\u00a0 Refrigeration slows bacterial growth, but does not stop it.\u00a0 If you have too much leftover turkey, the freezer is your best friend.\u00a0 Cube or shred\u00a0leftover turkey and freeze in cup sized portions.\u00a0 Before placing them in freezer\u00a0zipper bags, label the bag with the amount of turkey and date.\u00a0 These bags\u00a0will be so handy when you want to make the above recipes again.\u00a0 Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or use straight from the freezer – you’ll just need to lengthen the cooking time a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
