Victoria's Black Friday Turkey Fajitas

Here is a good way to use up leftover turkey and also feel like you're having a completely different meal.

Victoria's Black Friday Turkey Fajitas

I knew a guy who, right after Thanksgiving dinner, would get up from the table and bring put 12 large paper plates.  He would lay the paper plates out on the table and make 12 of the exact same Thanksgiving dinners and then wrap each one in plastic wrap.  Stored in the fridge he would take one plate out each day, heat it up, and find a place in the house to relish his Thanksgiving dinner by himself for 12 days!  He loved Thanksgiving dinner that much.  Most of us have leftover turkey, but really don’t want to have two weeks of Thanksgiving dinner.  Here is a good way to use up leftover turkey and also feel like you’re having a completely different meal.
