What’s nice about these recipes is that you can easily substitute leftover chicken by using some leftover rotisserie chicken or even poaching a few chicken breasts. That way, you can enjoy these recipes anytime of year.

3. Leftover Turkey Shepherd’s Pie

This leftover turkey shepherd’s pie recipe is created by adding frozen mixed vegetables to leftover turkey and gravy then topping off with mashed potatoes. I like the idea of using some of the gravy in the filling and the rest for drizzling on top of the mashed potatoes before serving.

6. Healthy Turkey Casserole

This bright and colorful low carb casserole features leftover turkey, cheese, sugar free cranberry sauce, green beans and mayo. A recipe for sugar free cranberry sauce is included, but if you aren’t worried about the carbs then you can go ahead and use regular.

7. Individual Turkey Shepherd’s Pie 

Here is another shepherd’s pie recipe that includes the use of cranberry sauce and can also be frozen. This option is perfect for those that don’t want to eat leftover turkey the day after Thanksgiving but still want to enjoy a hearty meal later.

I like that you can put each one into ramekins to create individual servings. Just be sure to choose freezer safe ramekins and then thaw them in the refrigerator before reheating.

8. Leftover Turkey Enchilada Casserole (Gluten Free)

What I like about this healthy turkey enchilada recipe is that it calls for just a few ingredients. It also happens to be gluten free.

10. Leftover Thanksgiving Casserole

What I love about this leftover Thanksgiving casserole is that you need just four ingredients and ten minutes of prep time before popping it into the oven. You can use leftover vegetables from your Thanksgiving day meal or any frozen veggies that you have on hand.

    Thanks! I’m going to try the Shepherd’s pie recipe. I have tons of leftover mashed potatoes that would otherwise go to waste. I already made turkey soup, so I needed something different to make. I’ve always wanted to try the pie, so today is a good, cold day to try it.
