Thanksgiving leftovers filling your fridge? Looking for a great leftover turkey recipe? Every year, we spoon leftover turkey onto our plates, smothering it with cranberry sauce and stuffing though there never seems to be enough gravy to make the rounds. We make Thanksgiving casseroles and nourishing soups. This Thanksgiving, we served up something a little different, something new that’s sure to become a mainstay in our home: leftover turkey hash with yams and fresh sage.

I made this tonight and WOW!!!! Amazing! I had to mix turkey and ham as I didn't have enough of either. Used turkey stock I made and added a dash of truffle salt. I also added about 2 tbsp of my turkey gravy from thanksgiving as it was all that was left and I didn't want to waste. This dish is amazing!!!
