Thanksgiving leftovers that last all week
I am a girl at heart. I love leftovers. Because it saves you money on groceries, means you never have to cook again, and keeps the holiday flavor intact without any extra work.
I’ve created a variety of recipes that use up all my leftovers and add fun and delicious twists to classic dishes. Sliders, casseroles, soups and more will be added later this season! It’ll make you feel better all week long and give your budget a little break after your vacation.
How to Make Leftovers Fresh Again
- Freeze extra meat: Freeze extra turkey now for easy access in December
- Add broth to turkey. When reheated, the meat becomes juicy and tender.
- Reheat the filling in the oven or air fryer. It brings back that delicious crunchy texture.
- Add milk or sour cream to the mashed potatoes and stir: Make it creamy again.
- Fresh is best: Brighten it up by adding fresh herbs or lemon juice.
