Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes And Ideas

When the great Thanksgiving feast has come and gone, and the family has vacated the premises, you know what you are left with. Turkey, stuffing, potatoes and butternut squash fill your refrigerator in all kinds of containers. 

So, what do you do? You make the same turkey dinner over and over again until it is either gone or you just can't stand another bite. We all have been there, right? 

Well, it doesn't have to be that way this year. This year we have reached out to several other food blogs and asked them what their favorite Thanksgiving leftover recipes are and we present them here. Along with a couple of our favorites as well!
