Make Turkey Tacos with Butternut Squash Pico de Gallo

The best part of Thanksgiving. Every year a leftover Thanksgiving day sandwich is a must. I pile it high with cranberry sauce and gravy and turkey and sometimes if Im feeling wild Ill put some stuffing inside, too.

This is an idea for the days when youve run out of all the sides. This is for those grim days when all you have are copious amounts of turkey. And maybe you might have white meat. I say make a butternut squash pico de gallo (Im guessing you have some sort of straggler squash in the fridge). Sauté the squash, mix it with some pomegranate seeds, cilantro, shallot, garlic and lots of lime juice. It will be soft and sweet and nutty. Topped on turkey, in a tortilla with hot sauce makes for the perfect leftover turkey day situation.
