Thanksgiving Leftovers That Last All Week

I am a leftover girl at heart. I love leftovers because when I use them, it saves me money on groceries, it saves me from cooking again, and it keeps the holiday flavors going without any extra work.

I’ve made a bunch of recipes that use all of the leftovers and are fun and DELICIOUS twists on the classics. I have sliders, casseroles , soups and even a few more coming later this season! It makes the whole week feel easier and gives your budget a little break after the holiday.

How to Make Leftovers Fresh Again

  • Freeze extra meat: Freeze extra turkey now for easy meals in December
  • Add a splash of broth to turkey: keeps it juicy and tender when reheating.
  • Reheat stuffing in the oven or air fryer : brings back that delicious crunchy texture.
  • Stir in milk or sour cream to mashed potatoes: makes them creamy again.
  • Fresh is best: Add fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon to brighten things
