Leftovers...

Leftovers are my favorite part of the whole Thanksgiving day feast. That's why we make such large portions of each dish.

Pies for breakfast, turkey sandwiches for lunch...and my all time favorite, the whole dinner repeat casserole.
It's so simple and so satisfying. Just lightly oil a glass baking dish, add large spoonfuls of stuffing, both kinds, yams, mashed potatoes, beans, turkey and gravy. 
We ate all the green beans and limas, that's why there is no green ;-)

Cover with foil and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes, serve with the cranberry sauce and a salad on the side.
This can also be done in individual bowls and microwaved for a minute or two.


If you are tired of all thanksgiving fare, just freeze it in meal size portions. It's great fun to have a "thanksgiving" dinner in the middle of winter. Or use the turkey later for enchiladas , the mashed potatoes can convert to a great casserole. I like to save the turkey carcass for soup stock later.
