Thanksgiving leftovers sometimes stress me out. There can be so much of them and they can last seemingly forever. The turkey goes on and on and on and I have trouble using it all up, but I also don’t want to see it go to waste. Big dinner-sized salads are a good way to repurpose that extra poultry and go a little healthier after your holiday indulgences!
