Turkey: Not just for Thanksgiving

My husband works for a company that gives its employees a free turkey every Christmas. Now that the turkey has been in the freezer for a good couple of months, it's time to do something with it. Again, being it there were a couple of birthdays within the past week, I invited the birthday people over for a "Thanksgiving in February" birthday dinner.

With the leftover turkey I made turkey soup, turkey enchiladas, turkey salad, and turkey potato pie. And to think that only cats have 9 lives! The soup is for after school snacks, the turkey salad for lunches, the enchiladas are frozen for another night's dinner, and the turkey potato pie was eaten the next night for dinner.

The point is to cook one big meal, and tweak the rest for dinners later on. Just adding a few spices, etc., to something transforms it and gives it another life so you don't hear whining about eating left overs.
