I can eat turkey sandwiches for 3 or 4 days. The rest gets old after 2-3 days. By then I'm craving something spicy. If there is still turkey leftover, I chop it up and dump it in the turkey stock I make with the carcass. Sometimes if there is a lot leftover I divide the turkey stock and turkey pieces for soup or turkey and noodles at a later date. It all goes into the freezer.
Probably tonight--and definitely tomorrow--other foods will put in an appearance. That's pretty normal here--still enjoying the TG food but getting ready to move on. Since I'm not into cooking I don't make turkey this or that or freeze a bunch of stuff.
I bought the TG take-out meal on Wednesday night and had toasted turkey sandwiches (with sides, of course) Thursday, Friday and today. (Last year was the first year I started right in with the sandwiches because I don't care about slices of turkey by themselves.)
There isn't a lot left so it's working out fine. Turkey will be finished up today; there's still bit of mac'n'cheese left and a small side of sweet potato casserole nobody has gotten into yet. Plus a bit of pie...I may have to swing by and get a little more of that because it was really good this year!
Our leftovers are gone by Saturday night. I eat one mid-afternoon meal of leftovers and then have a piece of pie in the evening on both Friday and Saturday.
I actually enjoy leftovers much, much more than the actual TG day dinner as I am so tired from cooking by the time I sit down.

OK, so it's the morning of the 2nd day after TG meaning I just ate leftovers 1x since TG dinner & I'm already about ready to eat something different. I'll eat some today too though.
That's how I usually am...just about 2 days after TG & I'm ready for something else. Bring on the pizza or Chinese food, ha!
Cheer up, it's Christmas soon, and you can do the whole thing again.
I love Thanksgiving leftovers and put together 3-4 individual meals with turkey plus the sides and stick them in the freezer, working my way through them through the end of the year.
I eat them the day after and freeze the remainder of the turkey in small packages for later.
