Leftover Turkey Frittata Recipe
Thanksgiving leftovers are a funny beast.
We spend weeks crafting a menu, days of prep, countless hours of cooking and then freak out about what to do with it all the next day. I do that same thing, even though leftovers on their own are fantastic. Maybe it’s because, even after hours and days and weeks of prep, we still feel "lazy" just reheating the tupperware containers and setting it out on the table.
Even though I will chow down on cold beer brined turkey and left over dinner rolls in those post dawn hours, it’s still not hyper socially expectable to serve mashed potatoes and leftover turkey for breakfast. But throw some chopped up rolls and a few handfuls of turkey into a skillet with some eggs and you’ve got brunch.
And you should serve it with a mimosa, you’ve earned it

I’ll be honest with you – I look forward to Thanksgiving purely for the leftovers! Definitely making this with a mimosa, even though I’m not even cooking this year!
