Nancy of Skinny Kitchen has a Turkey Barley Soup Recipe that’s a great way to recover from your super stuffed meal the night before.

Anne-Marie at This Mama Cooks has a recipe for a Turkey Apricot Rice Salad that looks like it’s bursting with flavor.
This Leftover Turkey and Rice Soup from The Brooklyn Cook looks so warming – which is something we need to dive into as the weather gets cooler. Her Leftover Turkey Puff Pastry Pot Pie (say that a few times super fast!) also looks amazing.
