Need recipes to use up all that leftover turkey and other fixin’s? I’ve got you covered with some of the best low carb recipes to use it all up in new and interesting ways!
Right now you are probably still prepping for the big feast. Turkey is brining or chilling in the fridge. The bread for your low carb stuffing is drying out in the oven. Sugar-free cranberry sauce is bubbling on the stove and you’re heading to the grocery store for a few last minute items. But already you are looking at all the food and thinking to yourself “what the heck am I going to do with all the leftovers?”. You can only have leftover turkey so many times before you’re sick of the site of it. But use it in soup or salad or some other creative dish and you’ve got yourself a whole new meal!
I’ve also thrown in one recipe for leftover cranberry sauce. Because I always end up with ridiculous amounts of leftover cranberry!
Have a great Thanksgiving and see you on the flip side.

Hi Carolyn, I love these ideas for using up Thanksgiving leftovers, it would be equally as useful to refer to at Christmas. I have included it in my recipe roundup – Top 20 Low Carb Thanksgiving recipes from my favourite low carb websites. Libby
