Last year I saw the best recipe in a magazine about Thanksgiving… This is from memory, and craving… I thought it sounded awesome.

Roll turkey and green beans in cold mashed potatoes. (Not really sure how well this works – they looked like cigars…)
Pan fry it.
Dip in hot gravy.

OMG. that sounded so good. (I think I’m hungry!)

Mmm... sweet potato muffins sound wonderful! We also like this soup for leftovers. It's worth roasting a turkey just for this soup. Mmmmm

I made the sweet potato muffins for my 2 year old twins and they loved them. Which was good because sweet potatoes were on a great sale!
Love your blog – thanks for all your great ideas!

We make the cranberry-turkey sandwich as well, but we use cream cheese instead of mayo. It is to die for!!!! This sandwich is my favorite way to eat leftover turkey.

I found your site about a month ago and just love it! Thank you for doing such a great job.

I am SO GLAD I found your site! A friend of mine told me about it and I have been hooked!

I took a recipe for a pot pie cassarole and embellished it to incorporate the leftovers.

Preheat oven to 350.

-4 cups of chopped up cooked turkey (or chicken if you prefer)
-2 cans of condensed cream soup (I used broccoli cheese and chicken)
-instead of the 16 oz bag of fzn veggies which was in the original recipe, I used a cup of leftover steamed green beans, raw white corn cut from 2 cobs, 2 raw carrots sliced, 2 small raw red potatoes cubed, half a chopped sweet onion, 1 celery rib chopped.

Stir all above in a large bowl. Add to a large baking dish and cook TIGHTLY covered for 1 hour and 45 mins. Take out of the oven and on top add a single layer of:

16 oz can of refrig. biscuits

Brush with 4 TBSP of melted butter and sprinkle pepper over the top. Bake for an add’l 18 mins until the biscuits are done.

ENJOY

I make this turkey cordon bleu dish ONLY at Thanksgiving time- it’s super easy and REALLY good! I think the reason it’s such a hit is because there’s only one time of year that it’s made! Although, I use french cut green beans, not frozen.

I’m so glad you posted the cranberry Turkey sandwich! I’ve loved these for years, yet I always catch grief from whoever’s around when I eat them, because they think I’m a freak of nature for thinking it’s good. Now I have proof that I’m not alone in my cranberry/turkey combo love and maybe NOW I can get them to at least taste it!

We’re having Turkey Curry, some potato bread with mashed potatoes,and probably eat the leftover stuffing as it is Cranberry, Sausage, and Apple Stuffing.
