20 Easy and Delicious Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Raise your hand if you love your Thanksgiving food! Depending on which family we spend our holiday with, our fare also changes.  And the size of the crowd can dictate the amount of leftovers, too.  I love those holidays where my favorite casseroles are so plenty, I can eat them for days… at least when I’m the one hosting! Otherwise, I’m making mini casseroles for myself to eat “leftovers!”  If you find yourself with extras after the big meal has come and gone, try these 20 easy and delicious Thanksgiving leftover recipes.
