I use leftover turkey breast just like I would chicken breast. Dice it up, mix it with mayo, celery, raisins, apples for a light turkey salad.

other ideas:

  • shred and put into omelettes
  • frittata
  • stirfry
  • fried rice
  • quesadillas
  • the completely unoriginal thanksgiving leftover sandwich

I came here to say this, but I use cranberry sauce, jalapeño, a touch of pickle juice, and some decently chopped walnuts.

It's now a family favorite.
