Your Thanksgiving meal can be the performance-fueling gift that keeps on giving, provided you know how to use your leftovers. If you didn’t douse everything with butter and gravy, you’re looking at a fridge full of lean protein, quality carbs and micronutrient-rich vegetables—ideal for rebuilding your battered and bruised body after a grueling Turkey Bowl.  Recovery starts today with three healthy, hassle-free meals (and a snack) you can whip together with food you already have. Now that’s something to give thanks for.
