17 Delicious Ways To Turn Thanksgiving Leftovers Into Breakfast
1. Make savory breakfast sandwiches with leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce:

4. Whisk sweet potato puree into pancake batter:
Pumpkin or squash puree works too. This version tops the stack with coconut chips and puffed grains (~for fancy times~) but there’s no reason why you can’t just stick with syrup. Get the recipe.
