When you’re done with thanksgiving dinner and you stock your fridge and there’s no more room, you need to get rid of some food right? Wrong! All you need to do is make some new dishes using leftovers. Then you get new food and more room in the fridge.
The leftovers
Turkey is the main dish and assuming that it was Delicious then you can make a Turkey sandwich. All you need is a dinner roll, some mustard, mayonnaise, and some turkey and if you want to add more flavor then add some salt and pepper. You can also use leftovers for lunch the next day. Another thing you can make is a Thanksgiving ring. (recipe at the bottom). You can also make Turkey noodle soup Instead of chicken noodle soup. You could make some turkey cheese dip (recipe at the bottom). Another thing you can make is roasted Turkey lasagna (recipe at the bottom).
The dessert
One thing you can do with a leftover dessert is make an apple pie milkshake. Just take a slice of apple pie and blend it up with some vanilla ice cream. Another option is to make is leftover hand pies that are not like tiny pies. You could take some of your leftovers to some family members or friends as well. Something I suggest doing with the desert is just eating the desert and enjoying it for a second time. You could make cranberry carrot muffins with your cranberry sauce as well. (recipe at the bottom).
