Hi reader!
Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you're in the thick of celebrating the holiday, or kicking back, relaxing, and enjoying the day however you choose to spend it. After I send this email I'm going to pour myself a mimosa then enjoy a scoop of my Mom's Crock Pot Breakfast Casserole the size of my head.
First I want to help you get ahead of the holiday leftovers that might be overcrowding your fridge in a few hours. I never have a problem polishing off leftover sides (re-heated Green Bean Casserole might be even better than freshly baked 😍) but when it comes to turkey and mashed potatoes, I prefer to repurpose them. Otherwise they tend to get shoved into the back of my fridge and forgotten about!
That said, today I'm sharing 10 recipes to use up your leftover turkey and mashed potatoes. From soups to salads and even grilled cheese, these recipes give leftovers a real glow up!
