31 Leftover Turkey Recipes to Clear Your Overstuffed Fridge
If you ask us, leftover turkey recipes are the true heart of the Thanksgiving holiday. That’s why, even for a small gathering, you’ll usually catch us cooking a whole turkey—not just for the day-of feast, but for the next-day turkey gumbo, turkey enchiladas, or even crisp turkey salads.
Leftover turkey keeps well for at least three days in the fridge and up to two months in the freezer. That gives you plenty of time to focus on more than building the perfect leftover turkey sandwich. And it’s not just about the bird: Our favorite leftover recipes also offer creative ways to move through your stuffing, cranberry sauce, and sides. Whether you’re in the mood for a golden-toasted turkey sandwich or delicately spiced samosas, these leftover turkey recipes will help you clear out the fridge in the most delicious way possible.
