Here are 9 of my favorite Thanksgiving leftover recipes turned into bestovers.
The best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers because you can enjoy all the food without any of the cooking! But, if you’re so inclined, sometimes, the things you can make with the leftovers is better than Thanksgiving dinner. Think: turkey noodle soups, the best sandwiches, deep fried croquettes, and turkey curry. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
