I do not like leftovers. I just don't. I never have. The idea of eating the same thing 2 nights in a row is dreadful to me. So, why then, do I insist upon cooking enough for a small army every night? Who knows. Usually when there are leftovers we send a text to one of my husbands single friends and he is here packing up. He even went so far as to buy his own reusable plastic containers a few years ago! When he isn't around we give it all to my mother in law. So I'm not a spoiled wasteful girl after all.
However, since I made the change to become a stay at homer, I'm painfully more aware of the cost of not having leftovers. So instead of eating the same meal, I am really enjoying trying to transform the leftovers. I especially like to be able to freeze the meal, so I still get away with not having it two nights in a row. I know, I'm a brat like that.
A few weeks ago there was a great sale on hotel style turkey. So on day one I roasted it and we had a traditional turkey dinner. Then, instead of passing off the leftover turkey, Turkey Divan was made and put in the freezer. I felt so accomplished!

For as much as I cook, I've never tried to make Turkey Divan and as a matter of fact, I don't even know that I have EATEN Turkey Divan. Thanks for sharing!

This looks tasty. I don't mind leftovers, but I too like to switch it up so that it can be a little bit different.
