Our Best Thanksgiving Leftover recipes!


If you're like me you always cook enough food for an army for holiday meals. We love leftovers in their original form, but we also like to change them up a bit. Here are our favorite ways to repurpose Thanksgiving leftovers!

Spicy Turkey Quesadillas

These come together quickly and they disappear even quicker.  Great for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack!


Turkey Gnocchi Soup

Ready in under 15 minutes and works great with green beans instead of peas.
 

 

Stuffing Waffles

 Brunch anyone? Crispy savory stuffing waffle topped with cranberry sauce and turkey. Serve with maple syrup or gravy. 



 

Turkey Cranberry Bagels

These are a big hit with kids.  Great open faced or as a mini sandwich. 
 


 

Waffle Monte Cristos 

 The perfect breakfast before heading out to score Black Friday deals! Ham, turkey, bacon, apple jelly and cheese in between crispy waffles.


Speedy Shepherd's Pie 

 I actually prep the meat mixture ahead and keep it in the freezer. On the day I want to serve it I defrost and then top with my leftover potatoes. 
 


Basil Turkey Soup

Another super simple soup using pantry and freezer staples. Works with just about any veggies.


Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches 

 Who says you can only have hot browns on Derby Day? Hearty bread, sliced turkey, cheddar cheese, gravy and a slice of tomato.

 

 

Loaded Stuffed Potato Pancakes

 Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside!
 



Bacon Turkey Subs

 You can never go wrong with bacon, but it's the sliced apple that really puts this one over the top!

 

 

Cranberry Orange Vinaigrette

Use cranberry orange vinaigrette in a wrap with leftover turkey or drizzle it over grains, veggies, or salad for a burst of flavor

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
