Once a year, my mom would always make "Hot Rolls" from a box mix and we would eat turkey sandwiches for the next few days. Love them. I love turkey tetrazzini (could be ham tetrazzini) and turkey enchiladas. I might try a turkey and rice casserole this year.
I find it hard to repurpose the veggies -- I just reheat them and eat as is. Food Network has a whole page about leftovers: http://www.foodnetwork.com/thanksgiving/leftovers.html |

Mark Bittman's turkey and spinach curry recipe. We make it every year.

| I'm planning a version of Vietnamese goi ga chicken salad with the turkey leftovers tomorrow. Shredded turkey, white cabbage, mint, thai bail, fried shallots, peanuts and a lime chilli dressing. |

That turkey and spinach curry looks really good. I don't have all of those ingredients so I might have to improvise a bit but I think I can come close to the recipe.
That goi ga turkey sounds really good, too. Great ideas! |
| Turkey enchiladas. I make a homemade tomatillo green salsa recipe using some of my leftover turkey stock. I think my husband might like it even more than thanksgiving dinner. Well, not really, but close. |

Turkey pot pie! Every year.
Except, sadly, this year. We didn't host and didn't cook--just took wine, cheese and store-bought pies. We're living in a leftover-free zone. It's refreshing, yet weird and a little empty. But our waist lines will have it easier this year. |
| I just made stock from the carcass and bones - will do a bean oe lentil soup in the slow cooker with bits of mear. Shepherds pie with the mashed potstoes. No good ideas for tuffing! |

Stuffing balls! Roll the stuffing into meatball-size balls, then cook in a hot oiled skillet, turning now and then, until they get a crust. They make good appetizers if you're having a get-together tonight, or serve them as sides like hush puppies.
