Thanksgiving leftovers are wonderful in so many ways. After all we know that even with careful planning, there are bound to be Thanksgiving leftovers. The tough part during the holidays can be deciding what exactly to do with all those Thanksgiving leftovers. Here are some suggestions for your Thanksgiving leftovers.

You are no longer stuck eating Thanksgiving leftovers simply as sandwiches or repeat plates. Use these recipe ideas to create whole, brand new main dishes and even meals from your Thanksgiving leftovers.

Casseroles:

Casserole s make terrific dishes. You can combine virtually any Thanksgiving meat, including Thanksgiving leftover turkey with rice. Spice with pepper, garlic and oregano. Use the Thanksgiving leftover gravy to mix in with the rice and turkey. You can leave the rice raw and add water to bake the casserole. You can cook the rice and mix the ingredients together for a quick microwave casserole dish.

Pot Pie:

Pot pie is one of my favorite dishes to make from Thanksgiving leftovers. Use a pie crust that is half baked. In a large bowl mix Thanksgiving leftover turkey, gravy and basic vegetables such as corn, carrots, peas, spinach, green beans and more. Add some chopped onion, black pepper, rubbed sage and garlic to taste. Stir well.

Place all the ingredients in the half baked pie crust. Cover the pie dish with an unbaked pie crust. This is a great recipe because you can use both pie crusts that normally come in packs of two. Pinch the edges together. Make an X in the center. Bake at 450 degrees F until the crust is brown.

Thanksgiving leftovers turned into a delicious pot pie can be a great meal to eat because you have your meat, carbohydrates and vegetables all in one dish. There is no need to fix other things, except maybe a delicious desert!

A perfect solution for Thanksgiving leftover veggie plates are vegetable energy drinks. Puree the veggies with a little salt-substitute and dash of garlic. Voila, you have terrific energy drink and more room in your refrigerator! This recipe freezes well so you can enjoy it long after the holidays.
