If you’re anything like me, you have a ton of leftover turkey after the holiday season and you’re looking for fun and creative ways to use it all up while staying on track with your weight loss plan during the holidays!
Don’t let your bird go to waste – it’s super easy to repurpose cooked turkey for a few more meals. If you have more than you can eat a few days after your holiday, place your carvings in a sealed container and freeze for future use.
Here are 3 Healthy Turkey Leftover Recipes to use for your next meal!
1. Shepherd’s Pie
Rather than cook another batch of ground turkey, use your already-cooked leftover turkey in my recipe for a healthy low-carb Not Your Momma’s Shepherd’s Pie. Add your cooked turkey to your onion and garlic mixture to the pan to warm your turkey. Bonus points if you have leftover Thanksgiving veggies such as carrots, green beans and other low-sugar veggies that would be yummy in this dish!
2. Low-Carb Turkey Tacos
Use your leftover turkey meat combined with your favorite low-sugar salsa for a spicy meat mixture using my Cauliflower Tortilla recipe. Add toppings such as shredded lettuce, a bit of cheese (yes, it’s allowed!), sour cream and tomatoes! If you can make these tortillas a day in advance and put them in the toaster to crisp them up the day of, they are perfect this way!
3. Middle Eastern Turkey & Carrot Stew
Use your leftover turkey in this Middle Eastern Turkey & Carrot Stew. Follow the recipe and instead of cooking a new batch of ground turkey, add your already-cooked leftover turkey to your stew mixture to warm up the turkey. If you have leftover carrots from your Thanksgiving dinner, use these up, too!
Do you have a fun idea on how to use your leftover turkey? I’d love to hear from you!

The chicken is marinated in an easy DIY teriyaki sauce — crushed pineapple, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic — for as short as 30 minutes, or as long as overnight. Get the recipe.
You'll pound down (or butterfly) the chicken until it's thin and even. Then you'll wrap it around a mixture of spinach and cheese, and bake. It takes a bit of prep — but it's worth it. Get the recipe.
Little sprigs of thyme make everything classy. Get the recipe.

Chicken is shredded and piled onto a cauliflower crust with enchilada sauce. (To make this gluten free, just swap store-bought sauce for an easy homemade version.) Get the recipe.
Vegetarian eating isn't for everyone, but if you're trying to eat less meat OR you're going meatless for the long haul, getting enough protein is super important.
Of course, how much protein you need differs from person to person depending on your size, activity level, and whatever your health and fitness goals might be. For these meals, we aimed for at least 15 grams as a good place to start when you're cutting meat (aka a big source of protein) out of your diet.
Also worth noting is that the 400-calorie limit here is mostly arbitrary: The goal is to show that you can be mindful about portion sizes, if that's your thing, but still get the protein you need to function and feel good. You can figure out how many calories you actually need throughout the day here.
Two tacos = 389 calories and 15.9 grams of protein. Nom nom nom.

Unlucky is the vegetarian who forgets peas as an excellent source of protein. Assuming you split the batch into four servings, this soup has 400 calories and 24.8 grams of protein.
