Some get excited about turkey dinner leftovers, and some are completely done with holiday foods after the big meal. Personally, after all the holiday meals, all I want are some lighter food options. Here are 5 new and somewhat refreshing turkey dinner leftover dishes that you can make with all those leftovers in your fridge!
