Need some recipes to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving? I’ve got you covered! All are Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
But first – you need a turkey recipe!
Before you can have Thanksgiving turkey leftovers, you need a Thanksgiving turkey recipe! This deviled turkey and stuffing recipe is deliciously spiced just like my mom does it. The stuffing is just a delicious sprouted bread stuffing with all my favorite Thanksgiving flavors and can be baked in or out of the bird.
What THM fuel type is turkey?
Like any poultry, white meat is lower in fat and perfect for any fuel setting – S, E, or Fuel Pull. Dark meat is higher in fat and should be kept to a THM S or crossover setting.
Keep this in mind as you substitute turkey into the recipes below. THM E recipes should get white meat, but THM S recipes can use either white or dark meat.
