Like many of you, I looked at my fridge today and was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of leftovers staring back at me. The problem, like when you have too much of any food, is how do you finish it before it goes bad. Not to mention, getting totally tired of eating the same thing, the same way, over and over again.
This is where the Thanksgiving wrap comes in. If you want easy, this is as easy at it gets because you already have the leftovers cooked and all you need to do is assemble it.
So what Thanksgiving ingredients do you need? Luckily, they are your staples:
- Tortilla
- Turkey – Chopped into smaller chunks so they mix well in the wrap.
- Stuffing – We used our Pear and Sausage stuffing that we made this thanksgiving.
- Cranberry Jelly or Cranberry Relish
- Gravy
Steps to assemble
- Chop the turkey into small chunks
- Heat up your turkey and stuffing BEFORE you assemble the wrap
- Add the Turkey, Stuffing and Cranberry on the tortilla, making sure you spread the ingredients evenly though the wrap so you can the full Thanksgiving flavor in each bite.
- Pour the gravy on the ingredients.
- Fold up the wrap
We also recommend keeping some gravy on the side because you will want to pour more in to taste. That’s all there is to it. It’s a great mix of thanksgiving flavor and is something that it easy to pack as a leftover lunch.
