Call me crazy, but I love Mondays. Maybe it’s because I’m not going into an office and having a whole week of sitting at a desk to look forward to. But there is just something about a Monday that I love. It’s a great “start over” day. How many of you have said the popular line – “I’m starting my diet on Monday.” I know I’ve used it a time or two! But no matter how off track I get the week before on anything – from housework to eating to working out – I always feel renewed and refreshed on a Monday.
This meal really has nothing to do with Monday, but it is a great way to start thinking about after the holidays. As much as I am looking forward to Thanksgiving, I am equally looking forward to the days that follow – meaning lots of turkey leftovers! I always have to make a turkey sandwich first, but the rest of the leftovers are free – and these Rosemary Turkey Squares are definitely going to be number two on the list!
Although I didn’t make these with Thanksgiving turkey leftovers, they would be a great way to use up some of your bird! But in case you don’t have turkey leftovers, you can always make a turkey breast, or even use cooked chicken for this recipe. Either way, it’s a great way to get a tasty and easy dinner on the table.

What a great way to put it…I love Monday mornings after the kids are off to school, the house is quiet, and I get the house back in order. The turkey squares look great. I'll have to try them!

I used to make some like this, but with chicken. I think I'd like it even better with turkey.

These look so tasty!
I love Mondays too…for the same reason. I always "catch up" on Mondays. Love getting through the laundry, cleaning the house and planning my week on Mondays. It's a good feeling.
