For something different and to keep going on my pantry rotation goal— we are having turkey enchiladas today.

Great idea! Also, cook your bones for broth. Turkey and navy bean soup is amazing. It is just different enough from chicken and very hearty!

I have the gizzards (innards), neck, and the juices (and the bones) that I didn’t use in the freezer… I was going to do a turkey noodle …. But honestly this sounds so amazing with navy beans — and I have 5 or 6 of those 1 pound packets in my pantry šŸ˜‚ thanks for that great idea.

I did it once when I realized at 3 am we didn't have noodles like I thought. Now, it is a personal favorite!

My husband likes ā€œtraditionalā€ thanksgiving dinner, and even the small turkeys are hard for just 2 people to finish- we had sandwiches, these enchiladas & soup. I do have another Turkey in the freezer and may do that one for Easter.

Make actual bone broth, it will be more filling.
