How do you make a turkey taste amazing? Well, Apple Cider Turkey Brine of course. And if you have any turkey leftovers you whip up an easy recipe for a two-ingredient crust to create a leftover turkey and pear pizza. Serve it all up with sweet potato pie casserole, Mexican Cornbread Stuffing, King Ranch Chicken Casserole, or skillet chicken with balsamic onions and mushrooms.

Feeling like you need some fresh fruit in there? Why not try mango and brie quesadilla OR Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaf? And if that isn’t enough to satisfy your taste buds, you can try a tender baked potato with creamy pot pie filling, slow cooker grape jelly and BBQ meatballs, Caramel Pecan Apple Pie, or brown sugar ham glaze.

Yep. No matter what you’re craving, we’ve got it all covered at Family Fun Friday!

This PARTY will run for TWO WEEKS in celebration of the busy holiday season! So I’ll see you back here again next week if you are linking up over the holiday and once every two weeks I’ll round up the best posts.

Happy Holidays, and enjoy this season while making these delicious recipes created by the bloggers who share their recipes at Family Fun Friday.
