mmmm…turkey sloppy joes ↑

Last week I co-hosted a class on how to turn your Thanksgiving leftovers into something delicious and unexpected. There were a lot of fabulous tips and recipes shared, including the lovely Sloppy Joe sandwich above. I had a fabulous time (I always love working with TheMotherhood!) and am happy I get to share all the best tidbits from the class with you! Here’s a teaser:

An informal left-upper survey of the 10 blogger co-hosts revealed a few interesting Thanksgiving tidbits – eight of them agreed that leftovers are one of their favorite parts of the holiday, and six admitted that their families deliberately prepare too much food with the expectation of having leftovers.

“So, out of curiosity, how many leftovers do you ladies usually have at the end of a Thanksgiving meal? Ours is almost shameful,” said Stephanie, Goober Monkey.

“We always make extra so there are leftovers,” replied Deb, Just Short of Crazy.

“I always seem to have a lot left over so this is good to know I can make ‘Left Uppers,’” added Migdalia, Latina on a Mission.

Kasey at All Things Mamma noted, “I’ve heard so many people say that they aren’t fans of leftovers, but if they turned them into left-uppers – I bet they’d change their minds!”

“The great thing about Thanksgiving leftovers is that they all go so well together so you can combine them into almost anything – sandwich, quesadilla, fried cakes, etc,” agreed Kristy, The Wicked Noodle.

To get the rest of the discussion and for that Sloppy Joe recipe (and others), head on over to read the entire recap! I would love to hear what your favorite way to prepare your Thanksgiving leftovers is, too! Or if you just prefer to heat up a plate, which is always good, too!
