You all know how much I love tacos- so I figured why not come up with a turkey taco recipe that is perfect for leftovers. It was kind of a no brainer and kind of amazing
Just kidding- these turkey tacos ARE amazing!
How to make turkey tacos:

- Get your cranberry sauce and cream cheese out of the fridge
- Build yourself an amazing taco (or 4 or 5)!

This turkey taco recipe came from a love of my favorite Thanksgiving combos! Cranberry relish, Cream Cheese and Turkey!
I love the combination of cream cheese, cranberry, and turkey. When we have Thanksgiving dinner, these three always end up on my plate in a great stack-able plate of deliciousness.
Feeling bold? Add some leftover stuffing to the taco- yes!!!! Plus everything in taco form is almost always better.
