12 is a nice size group for dinner. I have done a lot of dinner parties for 12-14. That is a comfortable number for me. At home this is. My dining room table only seats 8 comfortably so I have to swap tables out to do a larger group or use the back yard and two tables. We can do this in CA year round, which is a bonus, as if living in CA were not enough of a bonus on its own.

Eventually I will make it to a brunch for sure.

Turkey leftovers..hmmm..as Corkey says "what leftovers?"

No seriously, I eat turkey sandwiches on oatmeal bread pretty regularly so leftovers usually become sandwich or soup. In the last year I have gotten into making simple stocks and loading up a soup with green leafy vegetables such as swiss chard, spinach, bok choy, collards, kale, napa cabbage. It all depends on my mood and what is good at the market. I will spin the soup in a flavor direction with lots of garlic, ginger, soy and a little rice vinegar or something like tomato, onion, cilantro, jalepeno, or tomato, more garlic, and a good romano cheese, again depending on my mood.

A good turkey or chicken stock can be turned into many different kinds of soup. Your enchilada idea is a good one though.

You can never go wrong with a good soup...

I love a good turkey sandwhich..i will stack mine with turkey,cranberry,cream cheese, stuffing and wow that a sandwhich and nummy...
