From breakfast to lunch to dinner options, we know what to do with that leftover turkey and other Thanksgiving fixins!
Southwestern Turkey Soup
“Wow, when you are tired of plain turkey leftovers during the holidays this is a great soup to warm you up. It's easy to make and full of southwest flavor. I love the hint of lime mixed with the cilantro and chilies. You may want to consider doubling the recipe. This will be gobbled up by your family!” - The Kitchen Crew
Turkey Cranberry Sandwich
“Yummo! Great sandwich. This was the first time that I've added cream cheese to my turkey sandwich, but it will now become our tradition to do it in the future. It really kept it moist and good. I used my grand marnier cranberries and this made a great (but messy!) sandwich.” - lazyme5909 “This turkey sandwich is the bomb. So much flavor, great textures and it was really quick and easy to make. Made as written but I did omit the mayo. I made fresh homemade orange cranberry sauce to use in this recipe, it worked well and was so good.” - BabyKato
Turkey Hash #1 - Thanksgiving Leftovers
“This is a great way to reinvent boring turkey leftovers. Making a hash from leftover mashed potatoes and turkey is genius. Cooking down the onions really has a punch of flavor. I love the crunch on the outside of the hash. Serving a fried egg on top sends this over the top. A great breakfast, but it's hearty enough for dinner too.” - The Kitchen Crew
Leftover Turkey Nachos
“These nachos are packed with so much flavor. Not only is this a great way to use leftover turkey, it's delicious. The dressing mix brings this dish to a whole new level of yumminess! During the holidays when everyone is tired of the typical things you make with leftover turkey, give this a try for something new and different.” - The Kitchen Crew
Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Casserole
“I made this last night and it was delicious. The only thing I changed was adding two tablespoons of gravy to the mixture before putting in the casserole dish. My husband and daughter loved it. Thanks for the recipe.” - nadoteri
Angel Hair Turkey Casserole
“What an easy casserole recipe and a wonderful way to use up leftover turkey. With so few ingredients, it comes together in a snap. Creamy and full of flavor, this will please even the pickiest eaters in your house.” - The Kitchen Crew
Turkey Croquettes (after Thanksgiving Day Treat)
“These were so good and a departure from the usual leftover recipes for turkey, got some zip! I love the use of cornmeal for frying and for the condiment; my husbands new favorite is Sriracha on everything. I swear he'd put it on French Toast if I didn't hide it. Thanks for the recipe and have a blessed Christmas....stay warm." - Elizabeth
Thanksgiving Turkey Pot Pie
“Seriously the best pot pie! The crust is flaky and scrumptious! This is my new pot pie recipe.” - pmh21650 “Turned out nicely and was a relief to put a good amount of turkey to use. THANKS!” - sanity_chek

Turkey Tetrazzini
“This is going to become your go-to recipe for turkey leftovers. This casserole is extremely creamy and super easy. I loved the addition of Parmesan and Asiago cheeses...it adds flavor to the roux and creates an amazing cheesy crust on top. Your family is going to request this often!” - The Kitchen Crew
Post Thanksgiving Potato Pancakes
“What would holiday leftovers be without potato pancakes? Such an easy way to reinvent mashed potatoes. The bacon grease adds tons of flavor so I suggest using that if you have on hand. Crisp on the outside and warm on the inside, these are super yummy.” - The Kitchen Crew
Turkey Shepherd Pie
“Made this tonight with leftover Turkey. It was delicious. Will definitely make again.” - Bonnie_Zipoy “This is a delish recipe! Great for leftover Thanksgiving. I changed it up a bit with my left overs. I used one roll out already made pie crust. Instead of mashed potatoes I used baked sugar pumpkin squash & topped it with the crispy onion rings. Following all other ingredients. Thanks for a great, quick idea!” - zazz
Turkey Dinner Croquettes
“These croquettes are a great way to use your leftover turkey and stuffing. The Cheese-Its crumbs add a bit more flavor than traditional bread crumbs. And I loved using the French fried onions as the coating. Just adds to the overall flavors. What's great is you can really use whatever you have leftover - corn, green bean casserole, etc - to add to the stuffing and turkey mixture. You can serve with a dressing but, honestly, this turkey croquette was yummy all by itself.” - The Kitchen Crew

Leftover Turkey Taquitos
“This is a great way to use leftovers without seeming like you are using leftovers. I added the jalapeno juice because I like things a bit spicy. But customize this recipe to what you like. These would be great to much on while watching some football!” - The Kitchen Crew

Mini Thanksgiving Leftover Pies
“I love mini shepherd pies or anything smaller and bite size, so I thought why not Thanksgiving pies. Well, I am happy to say it worked out well. I would have to say my favorite is the one with cranberry sauce on top; however, I loved the mushroom gravy topped one too.” - pistachyoo
