Leftover Turkey Manicotti – “Little Muffs” for the Day After the Day After
Manicotti, which means, “little muffs” in Italian, has to be
one of the best ways ever for using up leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
The moist
filling will bring the driest bird back from the dead, and you can literally
add anything that can be chopped up.
Leftover green bean casserole? Throw it in. Peas and
Onions? You bet’cha. Cranberry Sauce? No, don’t be ridiculous. Anyway, thanks
to the absence of cheese, tomato, and pasta on the usual Thanksgiving menu,
this concoction will erase any connection with the aforementioned feast.
One portioning note: The recipe below made six crepes, and
if you make yours slightly smaller, the filling recipe will make six nicely
sized manicotti.
