Got turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving or from a dinner the previous night? Here is another way to transform your dry leftover turkey into these Turkey Lime Fajitas!
Turkey Lime Fajitas
When Thanksgiving dinner happens and you pack the leftovers from the party and decorate your fridge with rainbow containers. How in the hell do you think of what to make the next day?!
Yeah, you could make the good ol turkey and cranberry sandwich. Why not try these Turkey Lime Fajitas?
Turkey Lime Fajitas Overview:
The turkey boobies were already preseasoned from a relative so accept the sodium intake. Oh lawdy and they were super dry too. Thank goodness for the life savers of the roma tomato and the freshly squeezed lime juice to moisten the fowl.
NAUGHTY TIP‼️ You could also add a few tablespoons of veggie broth if you feel that your turkey is still dry.
The veggies I had in our fridge were green and red bell peppers, organic garlic and yellow onions. I am not fond of eating bell peppers but I do enjoy the flavors when they are sauteed fajita styled. Of course, I used my favorite seasonings to add more flavor to the veggies.
I decided to use corn tortillas. You could use lettuce and skip out of the carbs or use flour tortillas or if you’re a rice fanatic, make spanish rice!
