Feast
Thanksgiving demands a big bird on the table.
After all, whats the weekend without turkey sand
wiches? That’s why, if you're like us, you’re compelled
to seek out a 20-pound turkey no matter how
many people surround your table on the big day.
Everyone ears their fill, and then there are the inevitable leftovers.
While turkey’s great when it comes with all the fixings, it turns a little
dull on its own. Maybe it's because we enjoyed it so much the day before;
maybe it’s because it dries out a bit overnight in the refrigerator. For
whatever reason, we need to perk it up.
So here's a tasty farewell to dull turkey leftovers. Save the meat and
bones on Thanksgiving, then wake up your taste buds with these easv
dishes on the long weekend ahead.
