Feeling Stuffed?

NEA Today, Nov 2004

With Americans devouring 667 million pounds of turkey on Thanksgiving-that's 2 1/4 pounds per person-it's no wonder you're feeling full! Take it easy this year and save some bird for later. Turkey is both low in fat and high in protein, making it the perfect lunch to pack into the cafeteria or teachers' lounge. Looking for ways to make over your leftovers?

Then try one of these ideas:

TURKEY SANDWICHES! Think about adding slices of apple and cheddar.

EASY TURKEY SOUP. Just toss in some celery, carrots, and wild rice.

TURKEY SALAD. Go easy on the carbs after piling on the potatoes!

TURKEY STIR-FRY. Try mixing in apricot preserves at the end.

FOR THE KIDS? Fried turkey nuggets with yummy dipping sauces are a sure hit.
