Leftovers

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! We had a great time with our family and friends, and stuffed ourselves silly! Of course we overcooked and have tons of leftovers. We will definitely enjoy a turkey sandwich or two but what else can be done with leftovers? Here are some ideas:

Cranberry Sauce
Add it to salsa or salad dressing for a holiday twist
Use it to top ice cream or yogurt. For breakfast I had Greek yogurt topped with cranberry sauce and honey.

Mashed Potatoes
Potato Cakes-scoop potatoes into balls then dip them in panko breadcrumbs and saute.
Jalapeno Poppers- stuff jalapenos with potatoes and cheese
Baked Potato soup-add chicken broth and cream until it gets to a soup consistency. Top with cheese and bacon.

Stuffing
Make meatloaf and layer the stuffing inside.

Breakfast casserole
Layer leftover potatoes, vegetables, and turkey in a casserole dish. Top with eggs and cheese and bake.

Turkey
Food Network's website had some very creative ideas. Chinese Turkey Salad and Emeril's turkey tetrazzini look great!

Let us know your favorite ways to use leftovers. Have a fun Black Friday and enjoy the long weekend!
