5 Healthy Leftover Turkey Recipes

The ultimate post-Thanksgiving leftover creation! While we love the endless days of Thanksgiving leftovers (and no extra cooking!), we can easily get tired of eating turkey and grandma’s collard greens over and over. BurgerFit CEO, Alane Boyd developed the perfect solution: turkey patties! Use up your leftover turkey and veggies and transform them into new creations that the whole family will enjoy! Trade your normal boring post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches for these 5 Healthy Leftover Turkey Patty Recipes, you won’t regret it! 

All these recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free, Whole30, and paleo. They are perfect for kids and picky eaters as the veggies blend seamlessly into the turkey. They won’t even realize they are eating the veggies they turned down on Thanksgiving day!  You can serve these turkey patties as is with another side, or try serving as you would a burger, in a wrap or pita pocket, or even on a sandwich! Alane loves eating hers with goat cheese and beet kraut. Easily freeze any extras for a quick weekday dinner or lunch. They also make for a delicious and easy breakfast (fry up on egg to put on top!). We hope you love these recipes, and if you do, please leave us a review and follow us on Instagram for more easy, picky-eater-friendly recipes!

I love taking my turkey burgers to the next level! -Alane

What They’re Saying

Not your typical burger with fries! I grew up just eating burgers with cheese, ketchup, and mustard alongside some fries...This burger offers more nutritional value while still being delicious to eat with the condiments that I love. A side dish of rosemary potatoes in place of fried french fries made it even better. This dish was a nice change from the average burger and had great flavor.

BurgerFit is a valuable resource to have at my office when talking about improving eating habits with my patients. It shows them that making healthier choices doesn’t mean giving up food that they know and love, and it helps them make the transition toward seeing food as a joyful part of self care, rather than something to feel guilty about.

Wait, these are healthy? If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten them...But they are good, so just don't tell me next time.

Trust me when I tell you these burgers are amazing!
I have had the wonderful opportunity to have them, and oh boy! My five-year-old even loved them. This is not your sneaky cook of the nineties, these are burgers your family will love. I cannot wait for the cookbook to come out so we can incorporate these into our weekly family meals.
