That's what Jill Hunter Pellettieri says:

Every November, magazine editors and food writers, cooking gurus and TV personalities, foist turkey leftover recipes upon us. Unless we put our tired, picked-over turkey carcass to good use, they tell us, we're wasting some precious opportunity. But don't be fooled. Do not be tempted by that recipe for turkey and leek risotto. Those stringy last bits of gristle and meat that cling to your bird are better suited to the raccoons who rummage through your garbage. Do you really want to morph the centerpiece of your most ceremonial meal of the year into turkey bundles (stuffed with turkey, cream cheese, dill weed, and water chestnuts, among other things)?

...many try to compensate for turkey's shortcomings by getting creative in the kitchen: We'll deep-fry, grill, brine, even spatchcock in an effort to zest up this bird. But I challenge you to count on more than one hand all the times you've made a turkey entrée since last Thanksgiving that wasn't a sandwich or a burger. (For that matter, when was the last time you ordered turkey tetrazzini at a restaurant? How about turkey pho?)

Well, I do actually occasionally buy a turkey breast and roast it, but the leftovers almost always go to sandwiches. But we did brine our bird this year, and it did make a huge difference in terms of moistness (though not so much for leftovers--it's still dry the next day). But I actually like dry white meat for sandwiches.

My general philosophy is to have one reenactment of the Thanksgiving meal on the weekend (probably tomorrow night in this case), either with leftovers (if any) or a new batch of potatoes, but the rest of it goes into other things. We still have some stuffing left (which we had for breakfast yesterday, with eggs). This is the first year that I'm not boiling the carcass for a soup--there are only two of us, and it's just too much. And last night, we had turkey black bean nachos, which were pretty good.

I think she's a little hard on the poor bird.

That's Slate's standard shtick: take a small truth and overplay it by several orders of magnitude. It's like a college newspaper produced by thirtysomethings.

Mmmm. Turkey Tetrachloride.
