Turkey Casserole
This turkey casserole is a perfect way to use up any canned cranberry sauce you have leftover from last night. Combine one can of cream of mushroom soup along with two cups worth of shredded meat and heat it in the microwave for about five minutes or until heated through completely. Add some garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme leaves (optional), and parsley flakes if desired as well before mixing with cooked noodles. Transfer this mixture into your baking dish, and then top off with crushed crackers mixed with melted butter before cooking at a low temperature until it turns golden brown!
Pumpkin Pie Shake
You should use up leftover pumpkin pie somehow too! All you have to do is blend one cup of vanilla ice cream with half a can of coconut milk, some leftover pumpkin pie, and about three tablespoons worth of maple syrup before adding whipped cream on top. If you want this shake even sweeter, then add another tablespoon or two of maple syrup while keeping the ratio at around fifty percent ice cream/fifty percent liquids; otherwise, it’ll end up tasting watered down.
Mini Turkey Pot Pie
If you’re looking for a way to put your food into cute little portions, then these mini turkey pot pies are perfect. This recipe is easy so that anyone can make it in no time at all! The most challenging part about this dish is cutting the pie crust in circles large enough to fit on top of each individual ramekin or cupcake tray if you don’t have any ramekins available. Place two tablespoons of leftover mashed potatoes inside each cup before filling with hot turkey gravy (you’ll need one-fourth cup per serving). Next, add some veggies like peas, corn kernels, broccoli florets, sliced carrot, or chopped spinach leaves, and then top each cup with a circle cut out from your pie crust. Bake in an oven until the pastry is golden brown and serve hot!
