20 Delicious Recipes that Use Thanksgiving Leftovers

I think that my favorite part of Thanksgiving, food-wise, is the actual leftovers!

Every year my daughter and I have a tradition.

We curl up on the couch with our DVR’d version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (that we didn’t have time to watch on Thanksgiving) and Hallmark Christmas movies.

We do this while online shopping and eating yummy turkey sandwiches made from turkey leftovers and fresh bread.

We basically bury ourselves in turkey, sides, and pies!
