It's the day after Thanksgiving, but the holiday isn't over yet. Surely you didn't forget about that pile of leftovers in your fridge. You know, the one with all the turkey. And mashed potatoes. And cranberry sauce. Etc.
You could eat the leftovers just the way they are and bore yourself to death, or you can give them new life as ingredients in different recipes. Here's a selection of recipes that will turn some (or all) of your leftovers into something tasty instead of something you'll forget in the fridge and rediscover a month later, topped with a layer of mold.
- Mashed Potato Pancakes
- Curried Turkey Salad
- Turkey Sage Chowder
- Turkey-Pinto Bean Soup with Nacho Garnish

No new ideas. I'm just here to heartily second the mashed potato pancakes.
We actually did it backwards this year. We had some leftover mashed potatoes, so I introduced my wife and son to potato pancakes topped with applesauce and sour cream for Thanksgiving breakfast this year.
They were perfect for a cold, lazy holiday morning.
