Here are some tips:

Make mashed potato balls - roll it in egg and Panko crumbs, and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Add turkey, side vegetables and some cream of mushrooms to pizza dough to make a little Stromboli.

Make a Brussels sprouts quesadilla!

For safety reasons, leftover Thanksgiving food shouldn't be eaten past Monday. And if you're planning on freezing it, make sure it's not for longer than six months.
