Here’s one way to use up your leftover turkey.  It’s especially nice that it has a different flavor profile from standard Thanksgiving fare, but will work even with a Thanksgiving-flavored bird.  I achieve the fresh cilantro by freezing it in chicken broth when I have extra.  One ice cube is basically 2 Tbsp.

We serve Tabasco, chives, diced tomato, cheddar cheese, and sour cream on the side.  We often have cornbread.
