'The Kitchn' recently put together a recipe for making turkey enchiladas out of Thanksgiving leftovers. By now, many Americans have finished their annual holiday feast and are eagerly digging into leftovers. While second-day turkey is still delicious, many people quickly grow tired of the eating the same meal over and over again.
Instead of the traditional turkey sandwich, this recipe uses Thanksgiving leftovers to make tasty enchiladas. The recipe involves wrapping leftover turkey in tortillas and adding a generous helping of cheese and sauce. By adding warm spices to the sauce, the leftover turkey is transformed into a whole new meal that tastes nothing like a day-old Thanksgiving dinner.
These turkey enchiladas are perfect for those who are already dreading the thought of another soggy turkey sandwich.
