15 Delicious Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipes

// I may earn money from the companies mentioned in this post. //

Y'all know how much love me some Thanksgiving!

I love making shirts for it, dressing up for it, and hosting it.

But, after all good things… then comes the aftermath.

The cleaning.

The dishes.

The leftovers.

Despite my best planning, I always end up having plenty to spare after a Thanksgiving meal (a lot of this is due to me wanting to ensure that my guests have plenty of leftovers to take home).

15 Delicious Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipes

In the same boat?

Are you looking for creative ways to repurpose a dish or new uses for turkey besides a sandwich?

I've rounded up a little bit of everything on this list of 15 great Thanksgiving leftovers ideas to help you use up the last of those tasty dishes from the big day!

Alaskan lifestyle blogger, Cris Stone, has rounded up a little bit of everything on this list of 15 great Thanksgiving leftovers ideas to help you use up the last of those tasty dishes from the big day! Find out more!

So come on, y'all – let's bring new life to those Thanksgiving leftovers!

Check Out The Recipes:

Sweet Potato Turkey Shepherd’s Pie

I love me some Shepherd's Pie any day so being able to make it with leftovers from the fridge?

BONUS.

Dutchess Potatoes

Fancy ass name.

Delicious ass side dish (or main dish – I DON'T JUDGE).

Turkey Pot Pie

Another of my favorite fall or winter dishes.

And again, using up leftovers to make it is like, The Best.

Deep-Fried Thanksgiving Bites

Deep frying isn't just for summer fair food anymore!

If you can deep fry – you should. A M A Z I N G.

Jalapeno Pesto Turkey Sandwich

One complaint a lot of people have regarding Thanksgiving leftovers is that they can tend to taste a little bland after a while.

Heat up the flavors with some pesto and jalapeno!

Turkey Corn Chili

Chili is IT for fall and football season.

Toss it all in a Dutch oven or a crock pot and enjoy your long sports balls weekend.

Deluxe Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole

I don't know what my favorite thing about this is – the cheesy or the hashbrown.

It's like they know what my face mouth loves best!

Turkey Sushi Rolls

You will be the classiest MFer out there if you throw together these turkey sushi rolls for your guests.

Turkey Rice Soup

This was a classic Thanksgiving leftovers dish at my house growing up.

It's wildly easy to make and using every last bit of that turkey.

Turkey Dressing

Dressing is Southern for stuffing on Thanksgiving and it's more of a sandwich filler (ala chicken salad sandwich) after.

This would also be really tasty on leftover mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Turkey Thanksgiving Casserole

I hate, HATE having to cook any meals after The Big Feast over Thanksgiving weekend.

Casseroles to the rescue – use up the leftovers AND get to chill on the couch binge-watching Amazon Prime Videos.

Cranberry Fiesta Taco Bowls

Again with the flavor!

Spice up a “taco bowl” with cranberries for an acid zing and some fall color.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

I am not a fan of biscuits because I think that are a bit dry and bland. But y'all – THESE are bank.

The sweet potatoes add much need moisture and flavor to a typically flat wad of dough.

Leftover Thanksgiving Breakfast Casserole

Helllooooo… Black Friday breakfast.

Dump everything together the night before and pop it in the oven the next morning (or noon, if you shop 'til you drop like I do).

Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich

I mean, I didn't promise you that I wouldn't include ONE turkey leftovers sandwich.

Because y'all – TURKEY LEFTOVERS SANDWICH. It wouldn't be post-Thanksgiving without one.

    I’m looking forward to trying some of these out this year. I usually go for the turkey rice soup and sandwiches, but I really like the idea of giving tacos or sushi a try!
