Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipes

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shredded turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Serve topped with a fried egg for a savory breakfast or brunch option.

2. Spread cranberry sauce on two slices of bread. Layer sliced turkey and any leftover stuffing between the bread slices. Grill in a panini press until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Enjoy a festive sandwich with a side of gravy for dipping.

3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in chunks of leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Pour into a greased baking dish and top with stuffing. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set. Serve hot with a drizzle of gravy.

4. In a pot, combine shredded turkey, diced vegetables, leftover gravy, and broth. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Simmer on low for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley for a comforting meal on a chilly day.

5. Mix mashed potatoes with an egg and a bit of flour to bind. Form into patties and pan-fry until golden and crispy. Serve with a dollop of cranberry sauce for a tasty side dish or light lunch option.

6. Remove the stems from large mushrooms and fill the caps with leftover stuffing. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Garnish with chopped parsley for an elegant appetizer or party snack.

7. Spread cranberry sauce on a tortilla. Top with shredded turkey, a sprinkle of cheese, and another tortilla. Cook in a skillet until golden and the cheese is melted. Slice into wedges and serve with a side of gravy for a festive twist on a Tex-Mex favorite.
