Happy Thanksgiving! First of all, as usual, in honor of the holiday, Etsomnia is taking the week off.
Second, I’m doing something today I very rarely do. Today’s post is all about recipes. It’s Thanksgiving, and in a few hours, the burning question in many households (besides “What’s the score?”) will be what on earth to do with all that leftover turkey. Of course, we’ve all had the iconic day-after turkey sandwich, but today, I want to share with you 15 great recipes I came across for innovative, creative ways to serve the rest of that damned big bird.
If you try any of them or have recipes of your own, please share in the comments!

I tend to make a hash, as I do after any traditional roast dinner. Those puffs with Brie look tasty though. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

We have 25 for Turkey Day (our giant family, and lots of friends without a giant family), so we make two turkeys – one to eat today, and one for the essential left-overs…. 🙂 Thank you for the great ideas!! Happy thanksgiving! ❤️

I live in a gated 55 plus gated community and will be dining at the Club House. Last year they had a great meal. I just hope that I have enough willpower not to overeat. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hal

Being vegan, my turkey is still strutting it’s stuff, not it’s stuffing.

It would have been very crowded, but we were in one of the private viewing areas. We were, in fact, in the WRONG one, but the veterans were very nice to us anyway… Oops.

Hubby usually makes turkey salad for sandwiches, but I keep the legs for my lunches. I just gnaw on ’em, like at the Renaissance festival.
