Leftover Turkey Recipes

Thanksgiving is now just a month away! Can you believe it?! I cannot.  I just can't believe how fast this whole year went.  It feels like I was just planning my New Year's goals for the year moments ago, and now we're entering the end-of-the-year holidays.  Just wow.

Anyway, I already have my favorite turkey recipe for Thanksgiving ready to go (and I'll share that with you later this week. It's really good!) But other than the holiday itself, I love the leftovers that we get from Thanksgiving. Food for days. Literally.  I'm a big fan of the classic turkey sandwich, but as a notorious "over-doer" I sometimes have more turkey leftover than we have an appetite for sandwiches. So I just have to get creative, like with these Leftover Turkey Recipes.

All of the recipes below are perfect for using up that leftover turkey.  Most of the recipes actually call for some type of cooked turkey (which you probably have lots of), but a couple call for chicken, which you can just easily sub out for turkey instead with similar yummy results.   What's your favorite way to use up your Thanksgiving leftovers?
