Shepherd’s Pie Using Christmas Turkey Leftovers

Share this Recipe

If you’ve got some turkey left over from Christmas Day, we’ve got a perfect recipe for you. It will leave you and the family heartily satisfied, but even if you are following the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge you will still be staying on track.

The trick with leftovers is to turn them into something a bit different than how they were originally served. This will keep things interesting as well as avoid wastage.

Our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge in January is called the BELLY BUSTER Challenge. Find out more or sign up here.
