When you hear the word "Thanksgiving", what do you think of? Family, friends, being thankful for all that we have, and last but certainly not least, a time for feasting. The best part? Leftovers. While this year we may be gathering in a much smaller bunch than usual, most of us still plan to cook and eat in celebration. With leftovers (hopefully) still filling the refrigerator, we often get bored of the same old turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, the list goes on. 

Here are a few very creative and mouth-watering recipes to take your boring leftovers and make a brand new meal for the family while still fulfilling your Thanksgiving leftover cravings: 

Turkey Cranberry Sliders

Looks simple enough, right? You can switch up this recipe by using other types of bread or add anything of your other favorite ingredients. Whatever you may choose, these sliders make a great lunch or even dinner.

Thanksgiving Pizza

Yes, you read that correctly, a Thanksgiving pizza. Using almost every leftover from the day before, this recipe is unique and crispy but hits every craving on the spot. 

Leftover Stuffing Waffles

With some leftover stuffing, an egg, some milk, gravy and maple syrup, you can create the new day-after-Thanksgiving brunch that is easy, fun, and also impressive!

Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Do you ever find that there is just entirely too many mashed potatoes? With this recipe, there is no way you can eat only one. If you have a mini muffin tin handy, this recipe is easier than it sounds. 

Leftover Turkey Handpies

You will need ready-rolled puff pastry which you can find at your local grocery store to complete this recipe. This recipe is a little more involved yet still easy to make, just as delicious, and rather impressive.
