Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Next-level dishes for the day after

Anybody can just make a sandwich with their leftover turkey, but that's some Istanbulsh*t. Instead, amp up your extra eats with these simple, chef-supplied recipes.

Turkey Stuffing Frittata
Jimmy Bannos Jr., The Purple Pig
The breakfast staple gets a carb-tastic infusion from leftover stuffing. Bannos is fond of the one his mother makes using the gizzard, but expecting you to have that on hand would be vent-ridiculus.

Prepare to stuff yourself

Day-After Turkey Turnovers
Aksel Theilkuhl, BLT American Brasserie
The soon-to-open resto's newly appointed chef de cuisine offers up these hand-held stuffed puff pastries that are perfect for dipping in spare gravy or cranberry sauce, of which you'll want more, impossible to ignore, impossible to ignore.

Turn your attention to the recipe

Chimichurri Turkey Soup
Chico Vilchez, Nacional 27
Serve yourself a steaming bowl of leftover bird & veggies by combining it with chicken stock and the famous green sauce from Argentina, which can get quite Messi, but won't disappear in your Cup.

Soup for you!

Turkey Salad
Brian Jupiter, Frontier
The whole-beast-slinging chef enhances spare gobbler with goodies like apple and candied walnuts, and if you need an extra kick, Frontier sells whole smoked turkeys, leaving your attempt feeling burned yet again.

Make this turkey or you'll be a turkey
