Amazing Holiday Turkey Leftovers Recipes. Groceries are too expensive to throw away leftovers. I’ve put together creative solutions for your holiday turkey leftovers.

Surrounded by vibrant vegetables, this roasted turkey invites you to explore a world of delicious holiday recipes, ensuring no leftovers go to waste.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday! I don’t know how one day, one holiday, can result in SO much food! But it always does. We have an amazingly good time cooking, eating, visiting, eating some more. By the end of the day, I feel like I won’t eat for days. A testament that we overcook is the bowls and bowls of food left over.

I don’t mind leftovers. I have this entire series on Call Me PMc called Encore Meals where I cook once and eat twice. Plan for leftovers, re-work them, and present an entirely different dish to the family for dinner. Get creative with leftover turkey, from sandwiches and wraps to casseroles and pot pies. Here are 2 Weeks of Amazing Holiday Turkey leftover recipes to give you inspiration for your leftover holiday food.

Holiday Turkey Leftovers Recipes

Leftover turkey is perfect for creating delicious sandwiches. Its versatility allows you to pair it with various flavors and textures. Layer slices of turkey on toasted bread with cranberry sauce, crisp lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise for a classic option. Add avocado, bacon, and a drizzle of honey mustard for a gourmet touch. You can also chop the turkey and mix it with tangy barbecue sauce for a quick pulled-turkey sandwich. These ideas are simple, tasty, and a great way to make the most of your leftovers.
