Thinking about the smells that will soon fill every household from Roasted Turkey to Pumpkin Pies and everything in between! After the holiday passes thoughts of what to do with leftovers comes to mind and I&#8217;m asked by family and friends for recipes that can jazz up weekend meals!

Fresh cranberries also can be baked with zucchini for sweet breads. Moist &amp; Delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;\">* Leftover bread filling can be converted into a hash with eggs in the mornings, add some bacon to round out your meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;\">* Leftover Turkey can be rough chopped to be used in a spinach salad with dried cranberries and a simple Citrus Vinaigrette. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;\">* Turkey Wild Rice Soup, is another idea that comes to mind&#8230;.Mmmmm, add some mushrooms too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt;\">After writing this, my taste buds are looking forward to leftovers.
