Thanksgiving Leftovers

Hope you, your family and friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

This evening, many will have leftover turkey in the fridge, so I thought I'd put up a few recipes that might inspire you to use some of the leftovers in something other than turkey sandwiches. Or for when you get tired of turkey sandwiches!

These recipes are from the Favorite All Time Recipes Campbell's Celebrations cookbook (1998, 94 pp). You've already done all the hard work for the big dinner, so it's time to relax the rest of the weekend cooking-wise, and recipes that call for a can of Campbell's soup are always good for a quick and easy meal.
