With December setting in and Thanksgiving in the rearview, here are some ideas on how to make some room for Christmas feasts. Nothing can compare to the unforgettable delights that Thanksgiving feasts brought us, but here are some ways to savor those leftovers with some easy recipes. 

Turn your leftover mashed potatoes into a crispy pizza, there’s no need for tomatoes with this one. With some store-bought pizza crusts, those potatoes go great with just a little bit of mozzarella and basil. An easy snack that you have to try if you’re trying to finish off your leftovers. 

Too full for the stuffing on Thanksgiving? Not to worry, try these delicious stuffing waffles and switch it up for your Sunday breakfast. For this, you will need about 4 cups of stuffing, 2 eggs, and some parsley. Simply beat the eggs, stuffing, and parsley into a batter and put it right in your waffle iron. After only 5 minutes you can even add that cranberry sauce or gravy that isn’t getting any younger.

Finally, here are a few ways to get rid of all that Turkey that just wants to stay put.

Quesadillas are everyone’s favorite and easy to make. Take two tortillas, add as much of your favorite cheese as you want, and throw that Turkey right in there. Brown both sides and voila, the turkey is gone, and you can enjoy yourself a crispy gooey quesadilla. 

For those wanting something a bit lighter for their leftovers, turkey salad is a classic that you will love. In a bowl, mix  4 cups of chopped turkey, ½ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of sugar, ½ cup of chopped celery, ¼ cup of scallions, and 2 teaspoons of fresh dill. A simply unbeatable salad recipe that everyone will want the recipe for.
