Thanksgiving: the time of year when family and friends get together to enjoy each other and cram our faces with loads of food.  Something about the smells of fresh-out-of-the-oven turkey and Green Bean Casserole mixed with the mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.  I’m salivating just thinking about it.

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipe Ideas:

And then there is the day after the feast, the day after that and then the week after that.  What do you do with all of that leftover food, specifically the turkey meat?  Sure you can make soups with the broth from the turkey carcass, but you can also create more exciting dishes such as Turkey Reubens and Thanksgiving Nachos.

Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipe Ideas

Turkey-Bacon-Avocado Grilled Cheese
No-Bake Turkey (instead of chicken) Pot Pie
Turkey and Corn Enchiladas
Next Day Turkey Primavera
Turkey (instead of Chicken) Crock-Pot Curry
Turkey Cheese Dip (I’m thinking football food!)

You could also replace the chicken with turkey meat in our very own Chicken & Rice Casserole recipe!

From Ashlea here at Heart Hook Home and from our family to yours, I wish you all the very happiest of Thanksgivings. May your chairs be filled, your table be full, the laughs never-ending, the turkey-induced coma nap everything you wished it would be and may the leftovers be delicious.  Enjoy the moment, live in the now and use up every last bit of that leftover turkey. 😉
