Our fridges are stuffed with Thanksgiving leftovers. As a general rule of thumb, we try to use leftovers within three days. But what if you have at least 3 days of leftovers? We have some ideas to avoid the doldrums of eating the same thing 5 meals in a row.
Thanksgiving Leftovers – Recreated!
Most Creative:
Leftover Mashed Potato Pizza! Spread leftover mashed potatoes over a pizza crust. Sprinkle a little extra garlic, some shredded cheese, cubed leftover turkey or bacon and pop in the oven!
Most Homey:
Turkey pot pie is always an easy favorite. Literally you can through practically all of your thanksgiving leftovers in a pot pie – especially that extra gravy! Another idea is the classic thanksgiving leftover casserole – one of my personal favorites.
For a Blustery Day:
As Winnie the Pooh would say… it’s a blustery day! So what’s the best way to warm up with those thanksgiving leftovers? Move over cold turkey sandwich. We found a recipe for Turkey Veggie Soup with Stuffing Dumplings, and I’m dying to try it. Check out the recipe on the Food Network here!
For Breakfast:
Thanksgiving leftovers for breakfast? I know, I was skeptical too – but some of these ideas look amazing! Try a turkey and potato skillet hash with cheese and an over-easy egg. Or breakfast sandwiches made with turkey and cranberry sauce on waffles. Doesn’t sound half bad, right?
We hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving! We’re so thankful for every one of you that we’ve gotten to work with over this past year – and we’re looking forward to all the friends we’ll meet this upcoming year. Enjoy your families and your cozy homes this weekend!
Best,
