Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely delicious, but now you’ve got leftover turkey and green bean casserole. Sure, you could just reheat them and eat them again, but that feels a little been-there, done-that.

Our cheese turkey stromboli recipe will have everyone eagerly anticipating lunch. It’s that good!
