Using up the remains of a Thanksgiving or holiday meal doesn't have to be a chore. From pesto-turkey linguine to creamy risotto, turkey leftovers can be downright delicious.
A fragrant pot pie made with ginger and curry is cozy in all the right ways. If you have gravy, you can use it as part of the filling. You can use leftover green beans or hearty greens or start with fresh—just don’t use raw spinach, as the extra water will thin out your sauce. Get our curried turkey pot pie recipe.
