Do you end up with leftover turkey after a holiday? I know I do. It’s bane of many of family after a big holiday. I finally figured out what to do with it (besides eating sandwiches). I developed this lemon-turkey skillet, a one-pot meal that gives turkey an entirely new twist. The lemon and thyme make a vibrant dish that you’ll love.

This  lemon turkey skillet has a lot going for it:

• It’s a one-pot meal…which I love. Less dishes.

• You can use leftover turkey...which I really love. It’s just me and my husband. My “Apple Cider-Brined Turkey with Herb Butter” is delicious and moist, but it does get old after the third day. So I use part of it for this. (I chop of the rest and freeze for use in my “Chicken Pot Pie.”)

• It’s flavorful- the lemon and thyme make a fabulous combination.

Now, a question for you: what is your favorite way to use leftover turkey? I’m always looking for new ideas and would love to share your ideas with my readers!

One-Pot Lemon-Turkey Skillet: How to Make Leftover Turkey Fabulous. Recipe is still fabulous with store-bought turkey, though! Printable recipe.

Ingredients are easy (and you probably already have most of them in the house). 3-4 cups of your favorite veggies in bite-size pieces (I use bell peppers of various colors, zucchini, and celery). Some onion. Chicken broth, rice, lemon juice, and thyme. Oh, and the leftover turkey.

Directions are simplicity themselves: I think there is a total of 5 whole steps.
