Happy Thanksgiving!
Now let’s talk about Friday. It’s an annual conundrum: what to do with all that leftover turkey.
True, you could pull out the remaining turkey and side dishes and simply repeat the meal.
Or you could get a little creative and try something different. How about taking a stir fry approach?
This dish pairs perfectly with Pinot Noir, in large part because it shares some of the same cranberry flavor as the wine. This recipe yields 2 servings.
