Leftover Turkey Recipes: A Pressing Health Issue

Before the Health Blog signs off for the day, we thought we’d consult with the American health establishment on a pressing question: What to do with leftover turkey. The establishment didn’t disappoint.
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (part of NIH) has this basic turkey soup recipe. One public health tip that may already be familiar to many cooks: For a dish that’s lower in saturated fat, let the soup cool and skim off the fat that condenses on the surface.
For something a little heartier (no pun intended), consider the American Heart Association’s Turkey Tetrazzini. The turkey is skinless, of course, and the evaporated milk is skim. The AHA calls it a “great way to use turkey leftovers.”
