Question: Do you have any turkey leftover from Thanksgiving? I know it's been over a week since Turkey day, but I had so much turkey leftover this year (which is never a bad thing) that I needed a way to eat it.

If I order something I really enjoy I immediately begin to think of how I can re-create it at home.
