Hoped you survived yesterday and had a wonderful time sharing food and laughter (and a couple of football games – Go Broncos!) with friends and family.

Here are some ideas for leftover turkey:

• Thank goodness for leftovers from Sunset magazine. These recipes are a little “high end” but the Turkey, Mashed Potato, and Jack Cheese Casserole that you can put together and bake in 10 to 15 minutes should appeal to the entire family.
• Turkey soup, casseroles, potpies, sandwiches and other terrific turkey leftover ideas from AllRecipes.com
• The Top 10 Turkey Leftover Recipes from About.com

Finally, one I’d be making if I actually had cooked a turkey this year, is the Turkey Enchiladas from American Profile magazine.

Picture courtesty of Posie’s Place, who blogs a recipe for Turkey Chipotle Enchiladas. It’s much more involved recipe, but it looks great!
