’tis the season for serious leftovers. With pounds and pounds of poultry likely leftover from your big holiday dinner, you may need more than a few ideas for how to use them all up! I’m so proud to be one of the 101 Thanksgiving recipes featured on the Good Cook blog. I used the products I received from Good Cook to make my turkey, and then I used the knives I received from the to make the the leftovers that we enjoy. Here is a recipe that I have used in the past.
