Turkey Baked Eggs

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays…the quality time with family, a reason to remember and reflect on all the things I have to be thankful for, the delightful feast with all the trimmings…and the leftovers!!!

If your hungry dinner guests don’t gobble up every bite on Thanksgiving Day, rather than just doing warm ups the next day, why not get creative with your leftovers?

These Turkey Avocado Club Baked Eggs are deliciously different and a real crowd pleaser. They’re the perfect way to give your leftover turkey an entirely new persona and your taste buds a treat.

I love to serve this amazing dish at the Historic Smithton Inn with a side of roasted potatoes and fresh salsa. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
