Thanksgiving Leftovers Made Over

More Party Ideas



While the typical "Thanksgiving leftover sandwich stack" of turkey, stuffing, and real mayonnaise is a classic, you may want to mix things up for your party. The trick to transforming leftovers into fresh fare, is to add herbs or spices that differ from the flavors of the holiday.

The Bistro Turkey Sandwich, with basil and sun-dried tomatoes on crusty bread, puts an Italian twist on the traditional favorite. Cranberry sauce can easily be remade into a topping as in the Brie recipe below, or simply serve the chutney along with a soft cheese and crackers. Sweet potatoes make a terrific filling in ravioli. Using leftovers in a creative new way is a real crowd pleaser, and saves on prep time during the busy holiday season.
