Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. If you ask me why, it’s the food obviously! The magical time where everyone sits at the same table, family and good friends and when there is so much food being served that we don’t even know where to start and finish. Most of the time there are a lot of leftovers that we throw away or give to our pets. Instead, you can actually use these leftovers and have a decent meal/drink yourself! We bring you 8 creative leftover stuffing recipes you can make with the leftovers of Thanksgiving.
1. Turkey Pot Pie Soup from leftover stuffing
If you are a soup person you probably know that the fastest way to get rid of any excess meat is to make a soup out of it. Takes only 30 minutes to make, this soup is surely an awesome way to use up your turkey leftovers right away. We put this first on the creative leftover stuffing recipes list because we love soup
2. Mashed Potato And Stuffing Patties
Re-purpose the starchy sides leftovers from Thanksgiving and enjoy the super delicious patties. A great second meal from leftovers that you can make and still eat tasty!
3. Thanksgiving Leftovers Stromboli
Thanksgiving sandwiches can get truly boring after you have eaten them a couple of times. If you are looking for a new way, try stuffing your leftovers into a stromboli, it is tasty, creative and a lot different than sandwiches themselves.

If you got any pumpkin pie leftovers, try making this delicious milkshake. Instead of buying pumpkin puree and ice cream, just use up your leftovers and serve this the day after Thanksgiving, everyone will love it!
7. Turkey And Sweet Potato Enchiladas
I think this is my favorite of the leftover stuffing recipes because it just doesn’t tastes like leftovers you know? If you like mexican foods, you will enjoy these enchiladas filled with turkey leftovers and sweet potato. A great way to have an awesome dinner with no spendings at all, only leftovers!
