Hello friends and Happy Black Friday.  I trust you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, a day filled with with plenty of food surrounded by family, friends and fun.

However, if like us, you had more food than family and friends and are now looking at a lot of leftover turkey, here’s a change to the classic turkey sandwich.  This healthy recipe can be found online at Health.com.

  • 1/8 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fat-free sour cream
  • 2 cups (about 12 ounces) cooked, coarsely chopped turkey breast
  • 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup drained and rinsed canned black beans
  • 1/2 cup bottled salsa
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce

Preparation

I made this for my men and they loved it, it was a great treat to eat while watching football, and to save on my calories, I just added some of the turkey mixture to a salad.

So what are some other ways in which you use leftover turkey?
