What are you going to do with the turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving this week?  Because you know there will be leftover turkey. This week's meal plan will focus on recipes to help you use the turkey leftovers in different and delicious ways for your family.
 
After putting this list together, I might not be so happy to send my guests home with leftovers this year!  These recipes don't look like "leftovers" to me!

Make sure you check out 10 Essentials Pantry Items and  Freezer Meal Planning Tips to further help you customize your family’s dinner.

Meal Planning Categories

This is just an example of how I like to meal plan. You could also incorporate a “leftover meal” or even “clean out the refrigerator” night. This is something we do at least once a week or every 10 days.

Assign each day of the week a different category and then plan a meal according to that category.

  • Monday - Meatless, Vegetarian or even Leftovers from the weekend.
  • Tuesday - Taco Tuesday or Mexican Recipe
  • Wednesday - Chicken, Beef or Fish
  • Thursday - Pasta or Italian Night
  • Friday - Sandwiches and Soup
  • Saturday - Pizza or Eat Out, Order In
  • Sunday - Comfort Food Meal
Leftover turkey recipes for dinner this week.
  • Monday - Turkey Slider Sandwiches - this recipe uses any leftover cranberry sauce you may have as well. Cranberry sauce on top of sliced turkey is delicious!
  • Tuesday - Creamy Chicken Enchiladas - using leftover turkey.
  • Wednesday - Turkey, Mushroom and Bacon Pastry Pockets from Recipe Girl
  • Thursday - Turkey Tetrazzini from She Wears Many Hats
  • Friday - Leftover Turkey Cranberry Monte Cristo Sandwiches from Nobel Pig with Homemade Chicken Soup - using leftover turkey in place of the chicken.
  • Saturday - Chicken Alfredo Sourdough Pizza from Farmhouse on Boone - substitute the chicken with leftover turkey!
  • Sunday - Skillet Chicken Pot Pie - this is my homemade recipe for chicken pot pie. Substitute the chicken with leftover turkey!

Now, pick a side dish to serve with the recipes listed above. Side dishes should include potatoes or rice along with one or two veggies. A tossed salad with homemade ranch salad dressing is always nice too.
