Fun Fact: The first Thanksgiving meal took place in 1621. Though turkey was common in the area at the time, the original bird that was served at the first Thanksgiving meal could have likely also been either a duck, goose, or swan. Wow! Wouldn’t Thanksgiving be so much different with a swan sitting on the table?

Hello Dawn, you have some great ideas for using left over turkey, so often the leftovers go to the dog. I am a turkey lover and often use ground turkey as it is low in fat . I am visiting from Blog Frog.
Ground turkey is a great idea. I like that as well. Thank you for visiting. Blog Frog is pretty cool, huh? :)
You have a lot of great ideas. We usually just use ours in sandwiches for the few days after Thanksgiving.
OMG, that is delicious. I absolutely love the leftover stuffing with turkey and soup. You cannot go wrong?
I have made turkey soup in the past, and my family loves it. I would love to try to make the turkey burgers this year they look good!
I make turkey muffins and spiral pinwheels all the time using leftovers. We eat turkey all year round!
My favorite way to use up leftover turkey is to make Turkey sandwiches. I always make a big pot of soup to.
These all look great. The burger looks so good.
I like to make stew with my leftover turkey. I t really good in wraps to. I have two teenagers so leftovers do not last long here.
