For those of us who celebrate Thanksgivings, we are all-too-familiar with the main contribution that leftover turkey has to offer.
That’s right, endless turkey sandwiches. 🥪
Of course, how you use your leftover turkey is a matter that should be between you and your own personal stash.
But if you like the sounds of cooked turkey, fried onions, bell peppers, salsa and sour cream snuggly tucked inside a tortilla wrap, then this leftover turkey play might be of interest to you.
There is nothing crazy in terms of how to make or time-required.
You know, it’s reasonable – like making a really good toasted turkey sandwich! Enjoy!
