    Default what are you doing with your thanksgiving leftovers?

    How creative are you getting this year? Is it soup and pot pie, or are you trying something new?

    I think we may have sweet potato fritters with dinner tomorrow.

    Didn't have a big turkey, but my leftover plans are turkey sandwiches, and turkey enchiladas.

    the day after Thanksgiving Pizza ( tradition in our house)

    The sauce is the cranberry sauce, the meat is turkey, and the cheese is goat cheese.

    Delicious!

    I uses Thanksgiving leftovers but doesn't taste like Thanksgiving.

    I didn't fix huge amounts, so we just had thanksgiving dinner all over again tonight lol. I only had some sweet potatoes left (kids will polish that off tomorrow), and some turkey left. I pulled off all the white meat turkey for turkey salad sandwiches tomorrow, and the dark meat and carcass I boiled up to make some homemade dog food (we don't like dark meat by itself and DH won't eat soup or casseroles @@)

    I don't have too too much - I put the wings and drums in the pot with the rest of the carcas for a broth.

    I will make some turkey croquets with some, pot pie with some, and a turkey and bean chili with the rest.

    I made a pretty small supper so there was a spoonful of this and that left that our youngest ate for breakfast. The turkey carcass is in the crockpot now turning into a lovely turkey broth for turkey corn noodle soup tonight. Good thing to, I'm trying to catch a cold.

    DH has pretty much polished off the turkey (there's like 1 slice left) so we won't have the usual pot pie come Monday, so I made a meatloaf for tonight with the leftover stuffing, and we'll have whatever vegs are left to go with it.

    All that's left today is some ground turkey for sandwiches this week.. I personally finished the apple and pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, and stuffing yesterday. To be fair, my wife made a half bushel worth of apple pies last Monday and froze all but one, so they could "technically" be leftovers along with the 23 qts of applesauce she canned.
