What is your favorite meal the day after Thanksgiving? Do you eat like the day before, very light or not at all?

I'm a light eater the next day, but LOVE this:

I start with toasted bread, spread cranberry sauce on one slice, and stuffing on the other, then I put my turkey on, warm it up in the microwave, and it's great!

    I love turkey sandwiches, with cranberry sauce, mayo & stuffing. Sadly this year, this will not be happening.

    Whipped cream. Maybe put it on some pumpkin pie if there's any left. But i'm good with just the whipped cream.....

    I love a turkey sandwich. Whole wheat bread, turkey breast, swiss cheese and cranberry sauce.
    I usually eat light/regular the next day. This year I will eat whatever the heck I want on Thanksgiving and stick to my calorie goal the day after. Turkey is a wonderful protein.

    I can't wait to have leftover turkey and whole wheat stuffing the next day!

    I like making mini sandwiches with the rolls. I break the roll in half and lightly spread cranberry on one side, and liberally spread gravy on the other side. Fill it with a bite of turkey, bite of taters, bite of stuffing, and microwave for about 15 seconds.

    I also like shredding leftover turkey and putting it in the gravy and serving over mashed potatoes. Or to make open-faced sandwiches.

    I just like turkey on a nice, hearty wheat bread with PILES of lettuce.

    That, and I'll merrily polish off whatever cranberry sauce is left over.

    I'm not bringing any leftovers home, except for turkey.

    I make risotto. Turkey stock, chopped leftover turkey, a spoonful of gravy, sage, butternut squash, and top with a spoon full of cranberry sauce.

    That.......and cold turkey straight from the fridge.

    I also like to spoon leftover stuffing/dressing into muffin tins, top with a raw egg and bake. Delish breakfast muffin.

    We always have ham and turkey on Thanksgiving and while I always skip the ham the day of and head straight for the turkey, I love having ham the next day for leftovers. A cold ham sandwich with mayo, so good! I'll eat it in a roll if I can manage to track a leftover one down (this is usually never the case in our house though lol).
    Also my mom's cheesy potato casserole is really good leftover!

    PS: Reading this thread is making me so excited about Thanksgiving. I can't wait!

    Our family makes our version of Hot Browns.

    Toast bread.
    Layer with a slice of turkey and a slice of ham.
    Top with melted sharp cheddar cheese sauce.
    Top that with a slice or two of crisp bacon.

    Serve with leftover sides. My favorite is cranberry salad.

    I used to eat at least two of them. Now I might eat one with a bit less cheese sauce.
