What to do with Thanksgiving leftovers
What are you going to do with all of that leftover Thanksgiving food? For starters, you can turn your stuffing into waffles (don’t forget to throw an egg on it) or you could make turkey gumbo.

The greatest triumph of the season arrives on the day after Thanksgiving, when your protein-induced drowsiness has dissipated and the leftovers are yours to play with in the manner you desire.
