Leftover Turkey Recipes: Sour Cream Enchiladas

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Sour Cream Enchiladas

Got leftover turkey? Try Making Sour Cream Enchiladas

Mmm…turkey and all our favorite sides — can’t wait for Thanksgiving dinner! Of course, then there is the inevitable leftover turkey.

My kids will eat only so many turkey sandwiches, but they love these sour cream turkey enchiladas.  This easy-to-make casserole will feed your family for a couple of days and it also freezes well.

Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey (this is a good way to use up a lot of dark meat!)

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Turkey Croquettes

These turkey croquettes are a delicious way to reboot leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I served them with an Avocado dipping sauce (homemade guacamole) and sauteed Asparagus. They make a great meal or snack and will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days– if they last long enough that is!

Review of Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Dallas, Texas

My family and I had a fun time last weekend at Harry Potter: The Exhibition. It was opening night and we were invited to a VIP Party and Reception. The evening started with cocktails and some light bites. We were also given some wristbands at the entrance which would be used later during the self-guided museum tour.
