Slow Cooker Anyday: Thanksgiving edition

November 25, 2011 by Emily Hill 11 Comments

You’re probably just coming out of your turkey coma from Thanksgiving dinner the day before, but it’s never too early to think about what to do with your leftover turkey. I’ve found a couple yummy slow cooker recipes perfect for using up those turkey leftovers…after you’ve had your fill of hot turkey sandwiches, of course!

If you don’t want to whip out your crock pot, you can always throw that leftover turkey into my super easy homemade chicken noodle soup recipe. Gobble, gobble!

    I made chicken tetrazzini for the first time a couple of months ago, and it was really good!

      I have yet to make it but always want to every time I see a recipe for it. I just wish we’d had some turkey leftovers. That’s what happens when you head out of town for Thanksgiving!
