The Day After Thanksgiving or Christmas Turkey Wellington is a recipe that utilizes leftovers from the traditional Thanksgiving dinner to create a novel and festive dish. This recipe is inspired by the famous English Beef Wellington, where the meat is wrapped in puff pastry before baking, thus adapting to the typical ingredients of these American celebrations. In Latin America, although there isn't a single name for this preparation, variations using chicken or turkey in puff pastry can be found, known simply as "turkey in puff pastry" or "wrapped turkey." The tradition of reusing leftover meat from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner reflects the importance of honoring food and combining it in creative ways to enjoy with family.
