You are going to make extra food for Thanksgiving just so you can have Thanksgiving leftovers and be able to use these yummy recipes.

If you are lucky enough to have any leftovers at your house on Friday, I thought I’d give you a list of some great Thanksgiving leftover recipes.

Thanksgiving Leftover Ideas

If you have leftover mashed potatoes a pot of Baked Potato Soup will definitely take the chill off!

Leftover turkey works great in soups too, just make it turkey and wild rice soup instead of chicken!

Chicken Wild Rice Soup

This Italian Turkey Soup is another great option for leftover turkey.

Roast a bigger turkey so you have plenty of leftovers for this Turkey Bisque Soup

Lemon Turkey Soup is a complete meal with a light lemon flavor!

Fiesta Turkey Soup adds a little spice to your leftovers.

How about a turkey and cheese enchilada – yum!

Mexican food works great with turkey – a turkey tostada is a fun way to use up those leftovers.

Or how about a Yum Yum Bowl?! This is one of our most favorite ways to use up leftover chicken or turkey.

We’re also having a ham and I love having leftover ham to make fried rice.

And if by chance you have any leftover pumpkin pie left you MUST make a pumpkin pie shake.  Believe me you will be glad you did!
