Let’s face it—if you make Thanksgiving dinner, you are going to have leftovers. Probably a lot of leftovers. So what do you do with all of them? There are only so many times you can heat up another plate of turkey and stuffing, and too many turkey sandwiches are guaranteed to get old quickly. The following recipes will give you something fun and interesting to do with all those leftovers.
IDEAS FOR FEASTING ON THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS
1. TURKEY TORTILLA SOUP
Most people don’t think of throwing a Southwest twist on turkey, but it works surprisingly well. This turkey tortilla soup recipe is a nice change from the traditional recipes using turkey, and it adds a lot of tasty veggies to make your meal healthier.
2. TURKEY POT PIE WITH CHEDDAR BISCUIT CRUST
If you think about it, turkey is an ideal addition to a pot pie recipe. A lot like chicken, but different, turkey works wonderfully in this turkey pot pie recipe—especially when combined with the cheddar biscuit crust. You may find you like this recipe more than the meal that gave you all the leftovers!
3. SWEET-POTATO CRANBERRY DONUTS
You probably never considered making donuts with your leftovers, but it works! These sweet-potato cranberry donuts use your leftover sweet potatoes, combined with dried cranberries, to create a sweet and delicious treat that bears almost no resemblance to your Thanksgiving meal.
4. DINNER MAC AND CHEESE
Many of the leftovers you have from Thanksgiving, including ham and various veggies, can go great in a dinner mac and cheese. And you can combine the mac and cheese meal you made with leftover turkey to create a different meal that lets you use up even more leftovers.
5. CHINESE TURKEY SALAD
A salad with Thanksgiving leftovers? Really? Yes! The standard Chinese chicken salad recipe works just as well with turkey, and maybe even better. You also get some fresh vegetables with your Chinese turkey salad (just swap the chicken) and who doesn’t need those after Thanksgiving?
