Left-Over Turkey and Potato Patties

This is a great hit with kids and adults alike for a simple light meal for the next day, after Thanksgiving Dinner.

 

My mom used to buy a whole cooked turkey from the supermarket for Thanksgiving dinner.

 

However, we could never finish up the whole bird because it was too huge, bigger than the biggest chicken that we ever had.

 

Normally, it took us almost a week to finish the whole leftover turkey, so it was kind of bored having leftover turkey everyday.

 

If you family is having the same problem with the left-over turkey as we did, you should try this Turkey and Potato patties for a change.

 

This is a light potato patties which is packed with vegetables and turkey, an all in one meal which is light and easy for the whole family.

 

You could prepare the ingredients in a large batch, freeze them in the freezer so that you could use them anytime you want to after you had boiled mashed potatoes.

 

My kids love these patties especially after school, in the afternoon. They are sick and tired of heavy meals, so Turkey and Potato Patties fit their taste bud very well indeed.
