Happy Day After Thanksgiving! I hope you feasted well with family and friends yesterday. I’m very thankful to have spent the holiday with a whole slew of grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. The kids’ contingent expanded to six this year (five of whom are 3 years and under), so things were quite exciting!
No matter how many folks we have around the Thanksgiving table, there’s always leftover turkey. What a perfect occasion to break out your panini makers and skillets and get creative. Here are 7 Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Panini recipes I’ve shared on Panini Happy to get you started!
