Tip of the Day: Make use of Thanksgiving leftovers

Thanksgiving may be over, but are the leftovers? Find out some easy ways to use the entire turkey.

There are several dishes you can make with leftover turkey. Just last year, fellow blogger Bob Sassone recommended turkey mornay, essentially turkey broiled in a creamy sauce of bell peppers, onions, and cheese. You can also try turkey chili and turkey tacos.

After taking most of the meat off of the bones, you can use the turkey carcass to make soup. Boil the turkey bones and skin in water for about 45 minutes. Add a variety of vegetables: onions, carrots, parsley, thyme, and celery. What would Thanksgiving weekend be without your typical turkey soup?

Bored of classic turkey leftovers? This holiday season, the blog Holidash has an amusing post about Thanksgiving leftovers that go well beyond turkey soup and turkey sandwiches. The post suggests everything from cranberry pancakes with leftover cranberries to sweet potato and turkey hash.

This holiday season, let's get creative with leftovers! Ask not what you're going to eat for Christmas dinner, but what you're going to eat the next day.
