Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for friends, family, and lots of food! Whether you are hosting your first Thanksgiving at your Camden apartment, having a friendsgiving, or visiting family you will usually end up with loads of leftovers. Here are some unique ways to use up those leftovers once the turkey sandwiches start to get old.

The great thing about casserole is you don't really need an exact recipe, so this is a great way to throw in whatever you have leftover for later.

Scrape up your leftovers into a delicious Thanksgiving pizza pie. Pizza 1 has a thicker crust and focused on turkey, stuffing and gravy.  Pizza 2 has a thinner crust where cranberry, bbq, and turkey shine.
