Turkey to us old school folks are to be eaten on Thanksgiving holiday only. I don't even think that there is turkey in Vietnam so thus why I say it is foreign to us refugee folks. Even if there are, probably expensive.
So imagine being fed turkey only one day out of the year. Well more than one day cuz of leftovers but yeah, years after years, all them turkey leftovers meat goes to waste.
The anticipation to eat but after you are done and full, you are really done till next year.
I like to take the leftovers and strip it down and make it into a pull pork style or like tuna sandwich style but with turkey meat instead.
Myth busters. Turkey meat don't make you sleepy but the fullness makes you sleepy. I always thought that turkey meat is hard to digest thus why your body gets tired in digestion that you fall asleep.
