Because you're already going to feel bad enough about yourself after spending the entire day before re-explaining to your mom why that cute girl with the great job you were dating just isn't and will never be Chrissy Russo, okay, at least feel good about your leftover food game by snagging one of these super-simple boozy recipes from SD-native chef Rob Conaway of the modestly titled AGreatChef.com.

Wild Turkey & Cranberry Cobbler
Because a real man's favorite turkey is really just bourbon, this festive mashup uses a veritable cornucopia of Thanksgiving mainstays (and bourbon!) to make a crowd-pleasing cobbler that's shockingly devoid of peaches (but also has bourbon!).

You'll never guess what the secret ingredient is in this glorious recipe. Fine, it's bourbon.

Sweet Potato Pie Cocktail
While perfect for steeling oneself for Grandma's disapproving gaze because you didn't go to astronaut-doctor school, this rum driven cocktail's also a great way to put that almost-demolished pile of marshmallow-covered tubers to good use while benevolently ensuring they aren't the only thing getting mashed.

Cochon Ménage à Trois Cocktail
So dirty its name actually means...something in French, this gravy-loaded martini-of-sorts gets straight-up Mexified with a bloody-esque michelada mix & deep-fried pig skins, and is the exact type of drink in which to drown your sorrow for never oinking Lady Russo when you saw her that one time at En Fuego.
