Ideas on How to Use Thanksgiving Day Leftovers

Good morning everyone! It’s Saturday November 30th which means…drum roll….the big holiday month is next! Who is ready for the holiday craziness to begin? Not Me!

Today’s Topic: When it comes to using up all of your Thanksgiving Day leftovers – that turkey – What kind of dishes do you make? I made some turkey chili yesterday and later today I will be making some homemade waffles, turkey and gravy. Yup, I dusted off my waffle iron last evening to get ready for today.

My mom is making pulled turkey sandwiches later today (just like bbq pulled pork but she uses turkey). So, how do you like to use up all of that turkey? If you have mashed potatoes leftover from your holiday meal you can make potato pancakes or potato bread.

If you have a lot of veggies leftover and on-hand you can toss them together to make a homemade vegetable soup, Shepard’s pie, veggie & meat pie or toss those veggies into an egg mixture to make an omelet the next day for breakfast.

You can do a LOT with leftover thanksgiving food! If you run out of ideas just remember this…Most of the food that you have leftover from your holiday dinner can be placed into the freezer (frozen) for later use! Don’t let it go to waste!
