So you have leftovers—either from your own holiday cooking or those that were sent home or left with you by other Thanksgiving cooks in your life. In this household, Thanksgiving leftovers are first relished—simply reheated by the plateful and immensely enjoyed.
I myself like to take leftover turkey or ham and grab a leftover roll to simply stuff the meat inside and eat lickety split—this usually first occurs mere hours after the first plate has been consumed. Then, plate lunches are fixed up for that hard-working Husband o' mine to take with him to work and enjoy tremendously in the day or so after the holiday.
Finally, the turkey is properly idolized in the form of specially made sandwiches—unique to each turkey eater. That Husband o' mine likes his leftover Thanksgiving turkey on soft white bread spread lavishly with Miracle Whip and topped with a slice of real American cheese.
The Queen of this House prefers my her turkey on rustic Italian bread or an artisan roll, sprinkled with salt and pepper, topped with green olives and provolone cheese—all toasted to crunchy, gooey goodness and maybe even dipped in good ranch dressing every bite or three mmMMmm.
The hooligans kiddos? They just heat n eat the turkey all by itself for days—especially if there is gravy to reheat as well--for dipping, ya know.
What about ham? Ditto for ham as for the turkey, deliciously relegated to sandwiches made very similar to those listed above if not exactly the same.
How 'bout your family, what do y'all do with those leftovers?
