We all know Paula Deen for her thick Southern accent, enthusiastic laugh and willingness to cook up recipes that incorporate 12 sticks of butter. Despite her occasional trips to the land of excess, she can often be depended on to offer up tasty recipes that can be cooked up quickly and without too much effort. Her Thanksgiving leftovers menu from this year is an example of her reliable cooking. She's got you covered whether you want to make turkey pot pie (with butternut squash and cranberries cooked right in), potato croquettes (preferably cooked in peanut oil) or (because Paula never forgets dessert) pumpkin bars. If those recipes don't float your boat. If those recipes leave you cold, check out Michael Chiarello's Turkey Soup, George Duran's Turkey in a Cone or Ann Volkwein's upscale Thanksgiving in a Sandwich.

I've made Paula Dean's pumpkin bars and they are FANTASTIC. Of course, I would expect no less from a woman who's deep-fried butter. I'm in awe of her.
