Over Thanksgiving food? Try this!
Thanksgiving leftovers don’t have to feel overwhelming, repetitive, or guilt-inducing. Here are a few balanced, practical ways to enjoy them while feeling good physically and mentally:
✨ Balanced Leftover Recipe Ideas
• Turkey + Veggie Harvest Bowl: Layer leftover turkey with roasted vegetables, a scoop of stuffing, and fresh greens. Add a drizzle of vinaigrette for brightness.
• Stuffing Veggie Frittata: Mix chopped leftover veggies and small cubes of stuffing into whisked eggs. Bake or pan-cook for a protein-rich, satisfying breakfast or lunch.
• Cranberry Turkey Wrap: Use whole-grain wraps, turkey, greens, and a tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Add avocado or hummus for healthy fats.
• Mashed Potato Cakes: Combine mashed potatoes with shredded veggies, herbs, and an egg; pan-sear until crispy for a comforting yet balanced side.
❄️ Freezing Tips to Reduce Waste
• Freeze the turkey in portions you’ll actually use later—2–4 oz bags are perfect for quick lunches.
• Soups freeze beautifully: Toss turkey, veggies, and broth together; freeze flat in bags to save space.
• Stuffing & gravy: Both freeze surprisingly well. Reheat in small portions so nothing gets mushy or wasted.
• Label + date everything so December-you appreciates November-you.
Bottom line: Leftovers can be joyful, creative, and zero-stress. You deserve to enjoy them without shame and without letting anything go to waste.
