After
Thanksgiving, there are heaping amounts of leftover food. Rather than making
the classic turkey sandwich the next day, try some of these recipes to get
creative with leftovers this holiday season.
Thanksgiving Dinner Crescent Ring
Ingredients:
2
tubes Pillsbury Crescents
2
cups mashed potatoes
2
cups chopped cooked turkey
2
cups shredded cheddar cheese
1
cup green bean casserole
1
cup stuffing
½
cup cranberry sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a large pizza pan. Unroll the crescents
and place them in a circle with the crescent points laying over the edge of the
pan to create a sun-like ring of crescents. Next, spoon the mashed potatoes,
turkey, cheese, green bean casserole, stuffing, and cranberry sauce on the wide
end on the crescents towards the inside of the circle. Then pull the pointed
edges of the crescents up and over the filling and use a knife to tuck the tips
underneath the inside of the ring so it’s secure. Bake for 18-22 minutes or
until crescents are golden brown.
