Oh how I love Thanksgiving and all the leftovers! I look forward to Thanksgiving dinner all year long because I love cooking for my family. The kinds of food we eat for Thanksgiving are so special and unique to the holiday because we only make it once or twice a year. Eventually, however, we get tired of eating Thanksgiving dinner on repeat for days after.
To solve this issue, I found a ton of recipes on Pinterest that you can make with your holiday leftovers. we can create new and exciting meals with the leftovers we get from Thanksgiving. These are all ideas that both the kids and the adults in the family will enjoy.

Don’t these sound delicious? There are so many options that I am excited to try this Thanksgiving and even with Christmas leftovers. Don’t forget leftover turkey lasts about 3-4 days when stored properly. You can also freeze it and it will last 3-4 months. If you are sick of turkey and still have plenty of leftovers, freezing it can be a great way to incorporate it in future meals and help save a ton of time in the kitchen.
