Feeding Your Family From The Farmers Market: Thanksgiving Leftovers

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving?

The leftovers.

But it doesn’t always have to be endless turkey sandwiches and casseroles.

Michelle Dunaway met up with Grace Derocha, a registered dietitian with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, to come up with some new ideas to feed your family post-Thanksgiving dinner.
