Ideas for Thanksgiving leftovers

I was going to do a post today about pumpkin pie marshmallows… but that recipe needs a bit more work. Sorry. Instead, how about some ideas for what to do with the leftover turkey, cranberry sauce and other delicious Thanksgiving dinner foods? That way, you can pick up any ingredients you need before turkey day.

For a non-traditional turkey sandwich, try a Kentucky hot brown or turkey banh mi. Or wrap leftover turkey up in spring rolls. Not in a sandwich mood? Put extra turkey and other deliciousness on some tater tots for this nacho-like creation.

Use mashed potatoes and stuffing in a breakfast to fuel your Black Friday shopping frenzy: Day after Thanksgiving breakfast hash.

Turn your extra stuffing into stuffing bites, or use pie crust and cranberry sauce into tiny tartlets.

If you have uncooked cranberries left, try this cranberry-pear crumble. Fold uncooked pumpkin into some amazing pumpkin pancakes. And blend uncooked butternut squash into a smoothie.

Leftover marshmallows and cooked sweet potatoes? Try these adorable biscuits!

And if you can look at this cranberry brie grilled cheese without drooling, you’re a better person than I.
