Happy Thanksgiving!

Creating the basis of meals for weeks to come, Thanksgiving leftovers are often as delightful as the meal itself. turkey can be shredded, sliced, and diced for an assortments of salads, pastas, soups, and sandwiches. Doesn't this just make your mouth water? For those of us who are more epicurially challenged, A-1 Home Care presents this Spoonful.com gallery of post holiday leftover recipes. 

Pulled Turkey Sandwiches:

What you'll need

• 2 thighs and 1 wing from a cooked turkey
• 2 cups barbecue sauce, or to taste
• Sandwich rolls

Notes: Yields 8 servings

How to make it

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange turkey parts in a shallow baking dish, then douse them with barbecue sauce (if your sauce is very thick, thin it first with a little water or broth until it's more saucy than sticky). Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake, checking occasionally to see if pan looks too dry and adding a splash of water if needed, until the meat is falling off the bones, about 1 1/2 hours.
2. Use two forks or your fingers to shred the meat (be sure to pick out all the skin and bones) and stir in additional sauce if you like. (Alternatively, you can cook this on the stove top: Pull the meat off the thighs and wing, shred it, put it in a saucepan along with the barbecue sauce, and gently simmer, covered, until meat is tender and sauce is thick, about 1 hour.) Spoon the turkey onto rolls and serve.
