SHS Link-Up #4: Thanksgiving Leftovers

November 29, 2014 by Amanda R DeWitt

Good morning, friends!

Since I’m still hanging in Nebraska with the fam, I decided to keep this link-up going, but instead of posting my own recipe, I’m sharing some clever (semi-healthy) ways to use leftovers!

how to use Thanksgiving leftovers via @semihealthnut at semihealthyblog.com

If your Thanksgiving was anything like mine..you have plenty of randomly assorted plates of stuffing, turkey, potatoes and even some dessert. (my grandma sugar cookies and cookie dough balls are off limits..just in case anyone reading has access to my dad’s fridge. grandma dessert is serious business.)

So let’s spice up our Thanksgiving leftovers with these yummy eats:

Leftover Turkey Casserole via Super Golden Bakes

Leftover Turkey and Cranberry Sauce Salad [Sandwich] via The Healthy Maven
