13 (Easy!) Ways To Rework Thanksgiving Leftovers

(That are low-key better than your Thanksgiving feast, anyway.) …

Did someone say Thanksgiving leftover recipes?! Now that your traditional Thanksgiving feast is over, it’s time to figure out what exactly to do with all those leftovers sitting ominously in the fridge. Don’t worry; you’re not doomed to eat endless iterations of turkey and gravy sandwiches and cold cranberry sauce (unless, of course, that’s your jam, in which case, bon appetit!). Your leftover turkey and sides are only as limited as your imagination, and we’ve rounded up some creative recipes you won’t be able to resist.

It’s time to level up your leftovers. Who knew sweet potatoes could be perfect for pancakes, hash and vegan wraps? Why not use that cranberry sauce for muffins, jam bars, and some tasty appetizers? Don’t think your turkey needs to go to waste, either—enjoy some pho, Mexican breakfast pizza or turkey pot pie soup. Don’t mind if I do!

The key to really nailing your leftover recipes is making sure they taste different than your actual Thanksgiving spread. Nobody wants to eat the same thing night after night! And, let’s be honest, after slaving over those sides in the kitchen, you probably don’t even want to look at them. This year, transform them into something new, and don’t be surprised if by this time next year, you’re ready to skip the whole holiday and go straight to leftovers szn.

Below, 13 mouth-watering Thanksgiving leftover recipes to make the final days of November the tastiest of the year. Enjoy!

Cardi B and Offset Spark Romance Rebirth with Secretive Valentine’s Day Rendezvous

Cardi B and Offset Spark Romance Rebirth with Secretive Valentine’s Day Rendezvous

Last year witnessed the dramatic split of power couple Cardi B and Offset, marked by messy rumors of infidelity and a very public Twitter explosion from the “Bodak Yellow” sensation. Amidst the chaos, fans were convinced the two had parted ways for good.

Contrary to expectations, the former flames seemed to reignite a spark when Cardi hinted at a New Year’s Eve reunion in January, insisting she was still “single” at the time. Now, the duo has thrown fans into a frenzy once again, stepping out for a seemingly romantic Valentine’s Day celebration.

This week, Cardi and Offset discreetly dined at Carbone in Miami Beach, entering separately in an apparent attempt to keep their gathering under wraps. Though no public displays of affection were witnessed, the fact that they left the venue together just after midnight has only intensified speculation about their relationship status.

While Cardi remains tight-lipped about her current romantic situation, she hasn’t been shy about expressing her thoughts on other high-profile couples. In a pre-Super Bowl interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she revealed her admiration for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, deeming them “cute.”

What are your thoughts on Cardi B and Offset’s clandestine Valentine’s Day rendezvous? Do you think they’re back together? Share your opinions in the comments below, and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for the latest updates.
