GOBBLE GOBBLE- Thanksgiving Leftover Ideas

What's better than Thanksgiving dinner... THE LEFTOVERS duh! I personally love to eat leftovers just like they are, it feels like Thanksgiving all over again. However I do know that some of you out there do get tired of leftovers and want something a little more. Here are a few ideas on what to do with leftovers that will surely keep you and your family satisfied.

1. Turkey Panini (Leftover ingredients: Turkey or ham, cranberry sauce, gravy & stuffing)

This is a spin on the good ole day after turkey sandwhich. First grab some thick bread, I really like sourdough bread for this sandwich. Next spread some honey Dijon mustard on each slice and layer some swiss cheese on one slice. On top of the cheese, layer some stuffing then turkey or ham, cranberry sauce and a little bit of gravy (make sure the gravy is chilled before you put it on the sandwich otherwise it will just dribble off. Layer one more slice of swiss cheese and put the other slice of bread on top. Butter the top and put that side face down on your panini grill and then butter the other side and put the top down on the sandwich. Keep an eye on it, and take it out when the cheese is melted. Slice up and enjoy!

2. Potato Cakes (Leftover ingredients: Mashed Potatoes)

Get some mashed potatoes into a bowl and form into patties. Dip in egg and some bread crumbs and fry them up. You can also serve it with some leftover gravy. This same technique can also be used for stuffing just be sure to add an egg into the stuffing mixture before you form the patties otherwise the stuffing will just fall apart.

3. Cranberry Mousse (Leftover ingredients: Cranberry sauce & Cool Whip or Whipped Cream)

Take your cranberry sauce and put it in a blender and blend till smooth. Next put the blended cranberry into a large cold metal bowl. Gently fold in the Cool Whip or whipped cream. Put the mixture into the refridgrator and chill for an hour. Take out and enjoy! 

4, Turkey Scramble (Leftover ingredients: Turkey, veggies, gravy, & stuffing)

Scramble up some eggs in a bowl and add some milk (this well help keep the eggs light and fluffy), garlic powder, salt & pepper). Add your leftover turkey, veggies and stuffing. Cook until the eggs are done and top it off with some gravy.

I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving filled with food and love! I apologize for the lack of recipes this year. Due to my unexpected eye surgery I wasn't able to put up as much as I would like. But stayed tuned there will be more holiday recipes up soon :D
