Watcharee’s Delicious Ways to Spice Up Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey When I first came to the US in 1995 to attend law school, I had my first Thanksgiving with my host family, which was unforgettable. Like everyone else, I fell I love with roast turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, and cranberry sauce and began to feel at home in America. The day after Thanksgiving, we had plenty of leftover turkey meat, and I tried to come up with a new way to spice things up. Longing for the taste of Thailand, I made massaman curry with leftover turkey, potatoes and onions, which was a fusion delight and a big hit with my host family. It now become one of our favorite dishes after Thanksgiving in our family. Hope you try these recipes for leftover turkey and our WATCHAREE’S massaman curry sauce!
