Manicotti, which means, “little muffs” in Italian, has to beone of the best ways ever for using up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. 

The moistfilling will bring the driest bird back from the dead, and you can literallyadd anything that can be chopped up.

Leftover green bean casserole? Throw it in. Peas andOnions? You bet’cha. Cranberry Sauce? No, don’t be ridiculous. Anyway, thanksto 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, andif you make yours slightly smaller, the filling recipe will make six nicelysized manicotti. 

I went low-carb and used all the filling to make fourportions, but you should probably just fill all 6 crepes, or even double therecipe to get 12. I think you’ll want leftovers of the leftovers. So whether you make manicotti with the last of the holidayturkey, or just use the technique to recycle other meaty meals, I hope you givethis a try soon. Enjoy!
