Thanks for sharing this list of recipes, Erin! 🙂
You’re welcome! I hope you find something your family likes 🙂
So many recipes for leftovers thanks for all the ideas. I usually make turkey soup kits with the leftover turkey. We usually have a second thanksgiving dinner the next day after we decorate for Christmas and put up our tree. It’s a tradition for us now. 🙂
I always make the turkey soup kits after Thanksgiving too! I love the rich turkey broth that comes from the leftover bones 🙂
Nice compilation of left over recipes. Often the leftover meals tastes every bit as good as the turkey dinner did.
They sure do! Leftovers are my favorite…yummy food that you just have to heat up 😉
Good to know, it’s right around the corner! #homemattersparty
