I hide the leftovers in the fridge behind the yogurt so Curtis doesn’t find it. That is how much I enjoy this dish.

There are also these great side dishes I shared earlier in the fall. Or these recipes for turkey leftovers.

    I like that you mentioned you hide the leftovers lol I thought I was the only one that does that. This looks really delicious and easy. Plus cheddar makes everything better. Thanks for sharing!
