Thanksgiving always leaves me with extra dark meat that most of my family doesn’t eat just straight out…. therefore this has become a leftover Thanksgiving Turkey meal that we all enjoy!  I can’t remember who gave this recipe to me… I know I got it from someone from when I lived in Texas about 14 years ago.  It’s SO good though, the crust is simple and doesn’t make a mess at all!  AND a bonus… it only takes 25 minutes to bake 🙂

I always look forward to Thanksgiving dinner but I look forward to the leftovers just as much!  Since my husband  baked two 20 pound turkeys this year (one in the dutch oven and one in the Big Green Egg!!)  I have lots of leftovers to use up… which is just fine!  You’ll just be getting a couple more recipes to try 🙂
