Thanksgiving leftover recipes that go way beyond turkey sandwiches
With a feast as big as Thanksgiving, you’re bound to wind up with some leftovers.

From waffles to pie, here are five recipes that give your Thanksgiving leftovers a new lease on life.

Next, she covers the bowl with pie crust dough before baking it in the oven. The finished product is the perfect blend of flavors and textures.

This recipe is as tasty as it is easy. All you have to do is place a slice of Brie cheese in the middle of an egg roll wrapper followed by reheated leftover diced turkey and cranberry sauce. Next, wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper, then tightly roll. Finally, brush with oil and then air-fry until golden brown. Dip your egg rolls in cranberry sauce, and enjoy!
5. Leftover Thanksgiving croquettes

This recipe combines leftover turkey and mashed potatoes to make a delicious appetizer. After mixing chopped turkey and mashed potatoes, take a spoonful of the mix and stick some provolone cheese in the center before rolling it into a ball and dipping it in flour, whisked egg and breadcrumbs. Place the breaded croquettes in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes, and then fry them in a pot of neutral cooking oil until golden brown.
