Healthy Ideas for Thanksgiving Leftover Turkey

Hi all!

So, I was thinking about making a Thanksgiving post about how to not blow your diet on this holiday...but that's honestly the stupidest fleeting thought I've had in awhile.  Thanksgiving is the day of indulgence, period.  We work hard to enjoy these special holidays.

That being said, I wanted to share with you guys a few healthy ideas for your leftover turkey!  I think that this is a great way to use what you have and still eat clean after Thanksgiving.  Aim for the white meat.

  • Turkey Wrap/Sandwich: Try these combinations!
    • turkey, cheddar, apple (toasted?) and cinnamon raison whole grain bread, or regular whole wheat/grain bread
    • turkey, goat cheese, and pear
    • turkey, cucumber, avocado
  •  Turkey as your protein base for a salad!
  • Turkey soup
  • Turkey in an omelet 
    • (egg white omelet or 2 egg whites with an egg if you want a lighter version!)
  • Turkey in a quesadilla 
  • Quick Snack: cheese, turkey, and lettuce wrap
What healthy ways do you use your leftovers?  What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Comment below!
