With Thanksgiving over, many Americans will have their fridges stuffed full with turkey, stuffing and cranberries. Having leftovers to eat is great, but eating the same meal over and over again can get a little dull. Here are four ways to spice up your Thanksgiving leftovers:
####Turkey Cranberry Sandwich####
This recipe is of my own creation.
What you’ll need:
Whole grain bread
Cheese (optional, but Havarti cheese works well)
Turkey
Cranberry sauce
How to:
Place a couple pieces of leftover turkey on a piece of bread. Add cranberry sauce and cheese of your choice if desired.
####Apple Turkey Salad####

3 cups cooked shredded turkey
¾ cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 celery stalks, diced
½ cup fresh finely diced parsley
1 cup diced apple chunks

####Cranberry Cream Cheese####
This recipe is of my own creation.
What you’ll need:
Cream cheese
Cranberries or cranberry sauce
Bagel
How to:
Mix cranberries or cranberry sauce into cream cheese. Enjoy spread on a bagel.
####Pie Crust Cookies####
This recipe is from CompletelyDelicious.com.
What you’ll need:
Pie crust scraps
1 tablespoon water
1 egg (Can be substituted for applesauce)
Sugar or cinnamon-sugar, for sprinkling
How to:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Collect pie crust scraps and roll into a ball. Roll dough on floured surface until ¼ inch thick. Cut into shapes and place on a cookie pan lined with parchment paper. Then, stir together water and egg. Brush onto dough, then sprinkle on sugar/cinnamon-sugar as desired. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
With the help of these recipes, dining on leftovers for a week after a Thanksgiving meal might not be as dull.
