What are you doing with leftovers?

[sunnysideup488]

I have a hundred pounds of leftovers.

E got up this morning and requested green bean casserole and pumpkin pie for breakfast.

MOTY cause I let her eat pie for breakfast.

I think I'm going to make turkey soup. But there is a lot of turkey.

Suggestions?

Turkey everything...enchiladas, chili, soup. Freeze what you won't eat in the next few days.

As for sides, i keep the around for a few days, then toss. I don't think most sides reheat well anyway. I also don't see a problem with pie for breakfast once or twice a year :-).

I cooked everything and left leftovers at everyone else's house lol. The only thing I have left is a whole pumpkin pie bc I forgot to take it into venue two. I am going to make pumpkin pie smoothies with it.

A small slice of pie as part of breakfast the morning after Thanksgiving is tradition around here.  And since my kids eat that first, it often ends up being all of their breakfast b/c no matter how small the slice they're somehow full by the time they've finished it, so everything else on their plate goes uneaten.

I ate the leftover potatoes for lunch.  The gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce will probably get pitched tomorrow if it's still here.  The turkey is DHs problem; I don't like it enough to do leftovers, so whatever he hasn't gotten to in the next day or so will be packaged up and frozen.  I'll use it to make pot pies and casseroles for the girls over the next month or two.

We have this tradition, too. Best breakfast. Seriously, we all look forward to it throughout the year.

They're so easy:

1 egg
1 scoop of leftover potatoes
Shredded cheese
Salt and pepper

Mix it in a bowl and then cook as you would a pancake. Some people add chives.

I usually eat it with a salad.

I'm attempting this, it popped up on something last week figured it was worth a shot. I don't top with more stuffing because most of it was eaten yesterday.

Creamy Turkey Casserole

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise, divided
• 4 cups leftover stuffing, divided
• 4 cups coarsely chopped leftover turkey
• 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
• 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°. Spoon two cups of stuffing into a greased baking dish, top with turkey.

Step 2: Combine 1/4 cup Hellmann's® Real Mayonnaise with cranberry sauce; evenly spread over turkey.

Step 3: Combine remaining 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, potatoes and cheese in large bowl. Spread mixture over turkey and top with remaining 2 cups stuffing.

Step 4: Bake for 40 minutes or until heated through; let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with dried cranberries!

Sandwiches for 3 days (turkey, stuffing, cranberry,) dinner for DH for 2 nights and then remaining turkey gets cut into very small pieces and given to the stray cats at DH's job. Anything left Sunday night gets trashed. Surprisingly, there is never any left over pie to throw out.
