Ideas for Thanksgiving Leftovers

There are tons of recipes found via Google for the following ideas. Just substitute the ingredients for the leftovers you have on hand.

  • Gravy fondue and dippers such as cubed veggie roast, skewered seitan strips, and stuffing tightly rolled into balls then fried or baked.
  • Sandwiches, closed or open faced and topped with a drizzle of gravy.
  • Stuffing muffins plain or also topped with leftover mashed potatoes.
  • Charcuterie board with leftovers. You can use a pre-heated pizza stone or baking sheet and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve (not too long though). Be sure to protect your table with trivets.
  • Shepherd's pie with leftover veggies, roast, and gravy then topped with mashed potatoes.
  • Casserole with layers of leftovers, topped with stuffing.
  • Mini casseroles in ramekins if you don’t have enough leftovers for an big dish.
  • Mac ‘n Teese® casserole topped with leftover stuffing.
  • Pot pie, personal sized or larger depending on amount of leftovers. If you have a leftover pie shell, use that as your bottom crust otherwise, just use a top crust made with biscuits or unrolled crescent dinner rolls dough pushed together to eliminate seams.
  • Individual pot pies in ramekins: top leftovers with ready-made biscuits instead of pie crust.
  • Sweet potato soup using leftover mashed sweet potatoes, whisked and heated in a pan with non-dairy milk and perhaps a little veggie bullion. Garnished with roasted balls of leftover stuffing rolled tightly to the size of fritters and toasted on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Bubble and squeak using mashed potatoes and leftover greens, finely chopped onion, and diced seitan.
  • Parfaits is a great way to use leftover cake or pie. We suggest layering chunks of dessert with vanilla ice cream or yogurt in a wine goblet or glass tumbler. A chocolate drizzle or whipped topping is always a good way to dress it up.
