“We are giving thanks for the many ways our customers and employees give to their families and their communities year after year, and giving back with money-saving recipes through our Leftover Chef series,” said Kelly Colbert, senior vice president and head of social media at U.S. Bank. “We are talking turkey and offering tips on all the ways we can do more with the bounty around the table at this time of year.”
