Leftover Turkey
Who says turkey leftovers have to be limited to tetrazzini or sandwiches? Our grand-prize winner gave us a creative Rustic Turkey Tart flavored with blue cheese and cranberries. Our runners-up were similarly inventive with south-of-the-border and African inspired recipes, as well as a re-imagining of the Monte Cristo sandwich.
