I didn’t realize how many leftover turkey recipes were in my recipe box, until I decided to share them.
This is a great recipe that my mom used to make a few days after Thanksgiving.
Sometimes, we’d have so much turkey leftover that she’d make this recipe and pop it in the freezer so we’d be able to eat it a month or so later.
The Leftover Turkey Meatloaf is moist and decidedly delicious, even after being frozen.
I don’t know if its the turkey, the seasonings or just the fact that I love meatloaf, but this recipe is definitely one of my after-holiday-feast favorites.
The Absolute Best Leftover Turkey Meatloaf
For whatever reason, this is one of those recipes that I associate with the holidays, but it really could be made anytime of the year.
You could just get a smoked turkey breast from the grocery store any old evening and make this. I actually did this for the pictures, because it’s been like a while since I made it.
My daughter likes to pair this with leftover mashed potatoes, layered like a sandwich (she’s so silly), but I like to make roasted garlic fingerling potatoes.
Maybe I’ll toss my recipe for that up on the blog soon, too. Now, I’m going to leave you to the recipe, because my stomach is demanding seconds…
