By Iva Cheung

A book cover with a dark green cover and an illustration of a half-carved turkey and a splotch of cranberry sauce on a cutting board. The text says "After the Feast: A Turkey Leftovers Cookbooklet" and author name Iva CheungAfter the Feast features 25-ish easy-to-follow and flexible recipes to help you make the most out of the leftovers from your turkey dinner—not just the bird but also common sides like mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and roasted vegetables.

The recipes in this cookbooklet are accompanied by whimsical (read: poorly executed) illustrations that ostensibly depict the finished dishes.
