If you think the season of turkey is over just because the hols are over, think again. I was loving our December EatSavvy recipes so much I had to go out and buy a turkey breast last week to make more pot pie for my family ski weekends and there was even enough left over for some of the delicious soup.
Stay tuned for some more delicious and nutritious recipes on EatSavvy coming next week but be sure to visit back often for all of the recipes that are archived on the site for your enjoyment.
Remember to eat savvy!
I love turkey. I really love turkey—but the thing is, so does the rest of my family. It’s great when we’re sitting around eating it, but not so great when everyone is fighting over the leftovers. I have memories of my parents complaining on the drive home (read: complaining on Thanksgiving) from my Aunt and Uncle’s that they didn’t get to take home any leftover turkey. And so the tradition of cooking an extra turkey every year in my house began. Just for leftovers.
You see, it’s all about the leftovers—and the reason why we want the meat is for the turkey sandwich. Two slices of fresh sliced crusty white bread, a dollop of mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, lettuce and nice thick slices of turkey make the perfect leftover sandwich. Salt and pepper? Essential.
You might already know that turkey is low in fat, but did you know that it’s also high in protein? It’s also got iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and Vitamin B.
So if you’re looking for more ways to serve it up and enjoy, it’s the right time of year to find ground turkey and turkey sausages in the grocery stores or butcher. We’ve got some great recipes to choose from on EatSavvy—here is a short list of my personal faves:

I took to the Internet and opened a few of my favourite cookbooks, and came up with the following brilliant ideas. I don’t know how I haven’t made most of these before, but now that I know leftovers can yield such delicious results, you can bet that I’ll be increasing the size of my next turkey in order to have leftovers for these great ideas:
