I hope you’ve all enjoyed a glorious Thanksgiving feast!  Now, most of us have more leftovers than we know what to do with. As much as we love Thanksgiving food, eating the same food for a week afterward, can be a little boring for your taste buds. So I’ve compiled a list of 10 recipes that you can make to give a whole new life to your leftovers!
