Thanksgiving is the day where we cook as much food as we can fit on our table, stuff our faces, rest for 20 minutes and then eat some more. Well Her Campus CWU wanted to to extend the holiday feast for a couple days longer! We have come up with a list of some of the best Thanksgiving leftover ideas on the internet and we hope you like our choices.
1. Thanksgiving Egg Rolls
This could quite possibly be the best idea we have ever seen, you just add any of your favorite left overs into an eggroll wrapper and voila! You have some delicious egg rolls to share with whoever is still craving thanksgiving food.

2. Turkey Sliders
I mean who doesn’t love a good slider am I right? Not only does this allow you to add and take away anything you like, but they’re super easy to make! Just add some of your favorite things and either eat it cold, or put a couple of them into the oven or microwave to warm them up.

4. Grilled Cheese
We all love a good grilled cheese, but this recipe is one for the books. Add leftover turkey, brie, (or whatever cheese you have leftover) and this recipe calls for some apple butter on either side of the sandwich. Add some arugula and there you go!
