Thanksgiving and Christmas are so close together that it's hard not to get tired of the repetitive turkey recipes.
While some enjoy spending the entire day cooking a giant bird along with a massive feast, others may want to opt for something more low key. These delicious turkey recipes take the traditional holiday staple and reinvent them into simply scrumptious sandwiches and desserts. From turkey and gravy-infused cupcakes to holiday supper sandwiches, these recipes are great for those who want to spend the holidays in a carefree, effortless way. To make the holiday meals even more relaxed, save the leftovers from the Thanksgiving feast like gravy and turkey and freeze them in a Ziploc bag and pull them out for Christmas. And for the anti-holiday individuals, there's always a blow-up turkey lying around.
