abundance: the table groans with culinary goodies piled high into the air, and if you&#8217;ve rented a chef in Cleveland, then your feast stands as the cream of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But once everyone has finished their dinner course and that last slice of pumpkin pie has been dispatched, one question lingers: What are you to do with all that leftover food?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog_cta_banner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"blog_banner_content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This Thanksgiving, you can be grateful for fewer kitchen chores.\n\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/explore\/chef\">Hire a Private

alt=\"cta banner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, the best is yet to come: the days after Thanksgiving. Leftovers are not just reheats, but the gift that keeps on giving you know how to handle them right. So, buckle up and prepare for us as I share some downright delicious ideas for making the most of your Thanksgiving bounty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turkey-transformations-that-ll-make-you-gobble-again\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkey_Transformations_Thatll_Make_You_Gobble_Again\"><\/span>Turkey Transformations That&#8217;ll Make You Gobble Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know the phrase? Turkey is the main event of Thanksgiving, but the encore performance is pretty great, too. Sure, you could slap some slices onto a plate and revamp it again, but where is the fun in that? Here&#8217;s how to take that bird and make it into something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turkey-pot-pie\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkey_Pot_Pie\"><\/span>Turkey Pot Pie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, a classic that feels cozy, like a hug from grandma: Turkey Pot Pie. Gather up your leftover turkey, some veggies (hello, peas and carrots!), and a creamy gravy made from the magical drippings of your <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/personal-chef-in-cleveland\/\">private chef in Cleveland<\/a>. Toss it all into a flaky crust, bake it up, and bam! You&#8217;ve got a comfort meal almost as good as the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-legendary-turkey-sandwich\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Legendary_Turkey_Sandwich\"><\/span>The Legendary Turkey Sandwich<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing is more satisfying than scraping through the Thanksgiving leftovers when you finally get a Turkey Sandwich. Don&#8217;t stop at turkey and bread, though: add some cranberry sauce and a slice of brie, toss in a handful of arugula to add some crunch, and suddenly, your humble sandwich has entered gourmet territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turkey-soup-for-the-soul\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkey_Soup_for_the_Soul\"><\/span>Turkey Soup for the Soul<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, with cooler temperatures over Cleveland (as if that had been missing), it&#8217;s time for Turkey Soup. Take those leftover bones, mix up a hearty broth, and add some vegetables and noodles or rice to it, and you have one of the heartiest, soul-warming bowls that will keep you going well through the long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-side-dish-superstars\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Side_Dish_Superstars\"><\/span>Side Dish Superstars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sides have it easy on Thanksgiving, but post-Thanksgiving, they can easily steal the show. You can do so much with leftover stuffing, mashed potatoes, and more, so it wouldn&#8217;t hurt to give them their moment in the limelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mashed-potato-pancakes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mashed_Potato_Pancakes\"><\/span>Mashed Potato Pancakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix the potatoes with eggs and flour and fry them until golden. You have crispy, fluffy pancakes that are good for breakfast, lunch, or <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/blog\/clevelands-top-thanksgiving-buffets-and-dinners\/\">Thanksgiving dinner in Cleveland<\/a>! To add more flavor, use <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/glossary\/cheddar\/\">cheddar cheese<\/a> and chives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stuffing-waffles\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stuffing_Waffles\"><\/span>Stuffing Waffles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take that leftover stuffing and throw it into the waffle iron. When crispy perfection has been reached, top off the egg and drizzle with gravy for breakfast, brunch, or lunch- no judgments necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cranberry-sauce-remix\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cranberry_Sauce_Remix\"><\/span>Cranberry Sauce Remix<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is that cranberry sauce sitting in the fridge? Give it a remix in just some simple steps. Stir it into yogurt for a sweet-tart treat, use it as a tangy topping for oatmeal, or thin it out with a little <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/glossary\/olive-oil\/\">olive oil<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/glossary\/balsamic-vinegar\/\">balsamic vinegar<\/a> to create a delightful salad dressing. It&#8217;s like cranberry sauce found its second career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 16px #cccccc;padding: 10px\">\n<strong>Know More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/blog\/the-best-nightlife-activities-in-cleveland\/\">How to enjoy the best of Cleveland nightlife?<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-repurposing-desserts-for-a-second-round-of-sweetness-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Repurposing_Desserts_for_a_Second_Round_of_Sweetness\"><\/span>Repurposing Desserts for a Second Round of Sweetness&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The desserts are always the hero of any meal. Pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or sweet potato casserole-there&#8217;s no dessert you can bite from the next day. But you do not need to eat just as it was served. Let&#8217;s get creative with those leftovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pumpkin-pie-parfaits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pumpkin_Pie_Parfaits\"><\/span>Pumpkin Pie Parfaits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a few slices of pumpkin pie? Layer them in a jar or glass with whipped cream, crushed ginger snaps, and maybe a sprinkle of cinnamon for a Pumpkin Pie Parfait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sweet-potato-pancakes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sweet_Potato_Pancakes\"><\/span>Sweet Potato Pancakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet Potato Pancakes are the ultimate recipe for leftover sweet potatoes, especially candied ones. Mix them with your regular pancake batter, fry &#8217;em up, and you&#8217;ll have a warm, cinnamon-scented breakfast that will get you out of bed in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pie-milkshake-madness\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pie_Milkshake_Madness\"><\/span>Pie Milkshake Madness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling extra quirky? Throw a slice of your leftover pie (any kind!) into a blender with some ice cream and milk, and you&#8217;ve got yourself a Pie Milkshake. Yes, it sounds indulgent because it is\u2014but isn&#8217;t that what the holidays are about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-store-and-reheat-like-a-pro\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Store_and_Reheat_Like_a_Pro\"><\/span>Store and Reheat Like a Pro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so maybe you don&#8217;t want to eat everything the day after Thanksgiving. (Shocking, we know.) If you want to save some of that goodness for later, proper storage is key. But don&#8217;t just toss everything in the fridge, take the following measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-label-it-like-you-mean-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Label_It_Like_You_Mean_It\"><\/span>Label It Like You Mean It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust me, your future self will thank you when you&#8217;re digging through the fridge looking for that leftover gravy. Write down what&#8217;s inside and the date it was cooked. That way, you&#8217;re not playing food roulette later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fridge-vs-freezer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fridge_vs_Freezer\"><\/span>Fridge vs. Freezer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all leftovers are created equal when it comes to shelf life. Turkey and stuffing will last about three to four days in the fridge, while gravy, potatoes, and most sides can hang out for a bit longer. But if you&#8217;re looking to stash away for a cold, dark Cleveland winter day, freeze the good stuff. Turkey, soup, and casseroles all freeze beautifully\u2014just make sure to store them in airtight containers or freezer bags, and you&#8217;re good to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spread-the-leftover-love\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spread_the_Leftover_Love\"><\/span>Spread the Leftover Love<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rented a chef for Thanksgiving, you&#8217;ve probably got more <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/blog\/7-must-try-foods-in-cleveland\/\">Cleveland food<\/a> than your household can handle. That&#8217;s where your friends, family, and neighbors come in!

Grab some eco-friendly to-go containers and fill them up with turkey, stuffing, and pie. It&#8217;s like sending everyone home with their own mini-Thanksgiving feast! Plus, you&#8217;ll win the title of Best Host Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-donate-to-local-charities\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Donate_to_Local_Charities\"><\/span>Donate to Local Charities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Got more food than you know what to do with? Consider donating to local food banks or shelters. Cleveland has several organizations that accept prepared food donations, especially after big holidays like Thanksgiving. It&#8217;s a wonderful way to give back and ensure nothing goes to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 16px #cccccc;padding: 10px\">\n<strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/cookingenie.com\/content\/blog\/indoor-activities-to-do-in-cleveland-when-its-raining-outside\/\">What are the best things to do in Cleveland, Ohio?<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-host-a-leftovers-party\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Host_a_Leftovers_Party\"><\/span>Host a Leftovers Party<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the leftovers themselves the star attraction of your Leftover Party.
