"You spent all day cooking the big feast. You spent hours cleaning up. And, now, the weekend after Thanksgiving, you have a refrigerator full of leftovers. But, aside from the requisite turkey sandwich with hot gravy and cranberry sauce, you don’t really feel like eating leftovers.
I have two words for you: Transform them. Take all that beautifully cooked food from your Thanksgiving feast and turn it into something brand new. Don’t think of it as “leftovers,” but as possibilities for a brand new dish.
You can (and should) make turkey broth with the leftover turkey carcass. You could make soup and pot pie. But you could also try three new ideas for transforming those leftover mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, vegetables, etc".

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel kinda like leftovers... they seem tastier.
..."Polpettone alla Liguria
This Ligurian dish is ideal for this time of year. According to Italian food writer Domenica Marchetti: “In the rest of Italy, polpettone means meatloaf, from the word ‘polpa,’ meaning ‘flesh’ or ‘pulp.’ But the word can also mean ‘mishmash,’ and in Liguria, polpettone is a baked mishmash of vegetables—artichokes, green beans, or zucchini—usually combined with potatoes, eggs, cheese, and herbs.”
I first tasted polpettone on a recent trip to Liguria and immediately thought it would be a great dish for Thanksgiving leftovers. Here I transform mashed potatoes and cooked vegetables (I used cooked string beans, zucchini and a few Brussels sprouts) mixed with grated Parmesan cheese and eggs. Polpettone is highly adaptable and will work with virtually any leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables. Think of it as comfort food, an Italian version of a vegetarian shepherd's pie."...
