I love Thanksgiving food! Thanksgiving turkey dinner is my favorite holiday-related food. I think it even beats Christmas fudge! I always try to buy the biggest Thanksgiving turkey that I can, so that I have lots of leftover turkey. If I’m going to spend a lot of time to make a big meal, I want to eat that food for dayyyssss. I’m always looking for a new leftover turkey recipe to use up those leftovers!
I like to have a few ready-to-go leftover turkey recipes in my arsenal. It’s nice to have a few different leftover turkey recipes to mix things up. Since I like to get such a big turkey, I can usually make a few dinners from the turkey. My husband likes plain turkey sandwiches on wheat bread with salt and pepper. I love to make casseroles and soups with leftovers. It’s the kind of warm comfort food that just gives you a hug from inside.

This turkey zucchini casserole is awesome because it has vegetables in it. If I cut everything small enough, I can usually get my kids to eat them! While this leftover turkey recipe includes zucchini and carrots, you could easily add mushrooms if your family likes them. It’s a great way to add additional veggies!
