Like any true Blair Waldorf stan, I have many Thanksgiving traditions that mean the world to me. Gathering with family, watching the parade, and teaming up with my younger brother to make the mashed potatoes are just a few of my personal favorites. But perhaps the most delicious tradition of all? That has to be the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, naturally eaten post-Black Friday shopping spree. Nothing fills my Thanksgiving-loving heart more than putting together the perfect combination of multiple kinds of bread (yes, I think stuffing still belongs on a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich) and reliving the amazing meal from the night prior.
If you love to relish in the joys of Thanksgiving food past actual Turkey Day like I do, then you’re probably looking for creative ways to repurpose your leftovers, which is why we’ve curated a list of the best post-Thanksgiving recipes on the internet. From salad to sliders to soup, there’s no shortage of mouth-watering recipes that can transform a plate of boring leftovers into a whole new meal. Who knows?
