Look forward to Thanksgiving leftovers all year. D/H has been away so I made my own Thanksgiving and it was fantastic. I usually don't cook and only eat once a day so been eating leftovers every day. Most will be gone today, but saving enough to bring Thanksgiving sandwiches to work Monday and Tuesday. That will be it until next year.

I make up 4-5 divided microwaveable plastic plates of food, then slip them in to food saver bags and vacuum seal then freeze them. Take them for lunches to work later on. Yummy!

I cook a small breast, either bone in or boneless, because I am allergic so it is just dh and dd who can eat it.
Because of that, there is enough for 2 days.
Prior I would cook a 10-12 pound turkey. We would eat it for 2 days and then I would freeze the rest of the meat and make stock with the bones. I would pull out some meat for the soup about a week later and then again at another time for dinner. After 2 days, I was good. Day 3, no thanks.

We eat leftovers until the sides are gone. Usually 2-3 days. On Sunday, I either toss or freeze anything left over. I’m not a big fan of turkey, so I have a few meals (pot pies, soup) that I use for the leftovers.

I love leftovers. I’ll happily eat them all weekend (Thanksgiving and any time). After that, any leftover turkey goes in the freezer. The rest of it I’m probably sick of by then. I’ve tossed out stuffing before when I made too much … it hurts my heart, but so be it. I also have a lot of family around to share with. The turkey carcass becomes soup. Oddly, we don’t put turkey in the soup, only noodles. I don’t know why. It’s just how my mom always did it. I do put chicken in my chicken noodle soup. Weird. Maybe I’ll be rebellious this year. Do tell. Hot Brown turkey soup? Like the sandwiches? Got a recipe to share? Yep, just like the sandwiches. Here is the recipe I use (I do omit the ham and use Morningstar bacon, but I don’t think it makes a big difference.) www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/hot-brown-soup-3361897 It is really good, I actually prefer it to the sandwich. Thank you for that link, Skell! I made it for dinner tonight and it was delicious!
