Thanksgiving Leftovers


Have you already finished your Thanksgiving shopping? I have been a total procrastinator this year. Our Thanksgiving will be celebrated with just us – Brian, the kiddos, and me.

When I went shopping this past weekend, I bought a few turkeys – it’s hard to pass up the great prices this time of year! I’m sure come January or February, my family will be turkey’d out! My family might not be as thrilled as I am. I love knowing I can get about 3 or 4 meals out of one turkey! It’s a great budget stretcher!

We’ll enjoy one of the turkey’s for Thanksgiving (of course), but I am also already planning on the leftovers so we can make these yummy and easy Cran-Apple Turkey Sandwiches!

Let me show you how I make them …
