It’s good to play it safe on Thanksgiving and get a turkey slightly bigger than you need – estimate 1.5 pounds per person. One great reason is that once that delicious bird is cooked (perfect recipe here), you will have plenty of leftovers. There are quite a few meals you can make out of those chopped pieces of left-over turkey – turkey sandwiches, turkey soups, turkey bakes, turkey muffins, and now this yummy scrambler. Pomegranate juice and cumin elevate this left-over ingredient to a new height in this Pomegranate Turkey Scrambler.
