Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your turkey and mashed potatoes (or Tofurky and vegan green beans)! We are celebrating with family and I managed to avoid making the main dish again this year. I'll take pumpkin pie duty over turkey duty any day. 

My friend said she likes leftovers better than the actual meal and that got me thinking. Is there more to do with next-day turkey than sandwiches? One of my college roommates had a family tradition of turkey enchiladas. My mom would sometimes make turkey soup. In fact, there are plenty of recipes for leftover turkey. 

What is your family's favorite way to eat Thanksgiving leftovers?
