Got Turkey Leftovers?

I know that since Thanksgiving is over, a lot of people have some leftover turkey. It's delicious, great to eat, but by itself it can get pretty bland!

When carving my turkey I made sure to carve off whole chunks, along with small pieces. And FYI, I love the darker meat it's moist and delicious!

After eating our turkey dinner I was left with 3 quart size bags of white meat and one of dark to save.

Earlier today I took big chunks from light and dark, and gave them an egg and milk bath. I did the dark and white in separate bowls cause my husband isn't a big fan of the dark meat. I left it in the egg and milk, along with garlic powder salt and pepper for seasoning, for about 3 hours. When it came time to get it ready I used 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, seasoning salt and even some chili powder to spice it up a bit!

I fried those pieces up and they tasted amazing! I served it with homemade mashed potatoes, the only way I'll eat mashed potatoes of course!, and the cranberry sauce I meant to serve last weekend with our turkey, and the leftover home made turkey gravy. It was all fantastic, give it a shot!
