Thanksgiving Leftover BowlWondering what to do with all the leftovers from your Thanksgiving feast? This is a real family favorite, kind of a home version of KFC's mashed potato bowls.
Leftover Turkey IdeasOf course you should use the turkey carcass to make turkey broth for future use but here are some more ideas using your own favorite year round standard recipes, simply by substituting the beef, pork, chicken and even tuna with leftover turkey.
Leftover Cranberry Sauce with OatmealIf you have leftover cranberry sauce, mix it in your oatmeal for a yummy breakfast! You can add raisins too. Just put in a dollop of cranberry sauce before you cook the oatmeal and stir it together when it's done.
Turkey Breakfast HashFor turkey leftovers, make a breakfast hash. Pan fry your leftover mashed potatoes in butter (or if you have whole potatoes, slice thin or dice small.) In a separate pan, saute sliced onions, peppers, mushrooms, whatever you have on hand.
Using Leftover Turkey in Green Bean CasseroleTo use up every bit of your turkey, put it in your green bean casserole! I freeze the leftover turkey, both cut up and those bits left on the bone, wait a week after Thanksgiving, and make a new casserole with the turkey in it!
Thanksgiving PizzaLeft overs from Thanksgiving? Make Thanksgiving Pizza.
Frugal Turkey EnchiladasI decided to use up the last of a turkey that I had in the freezer by making enchiladas. I was appalled to find that the enchilada sauce was well over $2.50 a can.
Saving Holiday Bird Broth - Freezing Turkey BrothThe holiday bird always left me with plenty of leftover broth. I use the dixie drink cups, little kid size, to save it in smaller batches. I fill the cups, cover and sit them on a cookie sheet in the freezer till frozen.
Using up Leftover StuffingSlice leftover stuffing and warm on stove or microwave. Serve fried eggs over it (or next to it) for breakfast or a quick lunch or dinner. Can also be served next to scrambled eggs.
