You can opt for classics, like a post-Thanksgiving Day mega sandwich, namely this recipe for the Ultimate Leftover Thanksgiving Sandwich  piled high with fresh carved turkey, sweet and tangy cranberry sauce, and stuffing. Of course, you can add the so-called "moist maker" — a piece of bread soaked in gravy — to make this sandwich even more decadent.

Looking for something lighter after that marathon turkey feast? Try this recipe for a Turkey Waldorf Sandwich that swaps out heavy stuffing for a few veggies and some fresh sprouts. Don't forget there is more to Thanksgiving leftovers than sandwiches. Try this creative recipe that uses leftover turkey and cranberry sauce for a Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese.
