The meal was prefect, you spent the days with family and friends…….everyone is gone, the dishes are done……….what are you going to do with all those leftovers????

Thanksgiving Pizza

Make a pizza……thats right……a Thanksgiving Pizza! Everything that makes Thanksgiving special, on a pizza…..say what????? No its true!

So, this is more of  a method than a recipe. Heres what I did:

Gravy for the sauce. Spread leftover gravy over a purchased or homemade pizza crust.

Then top with leftover mashed potatoes.

And …….OMG its Thanksgiving……… on a pizza! It was the best thing I have ever done with left overs. You know how when you make some thing, and you take a taste and you are speechless …….this is like that. Tim and I both just kept saying…..omg this is soon good!!!

So take all those leftovers, toss them on a pizza crust and prepared to relive Turkey Day again!!!!

 NOTE: You can add any leftovers you want. If you like sweet potatoes, or have leftover veggies…….just toss on what you like best.

 Butterfinger Pie

I am all for the traditional Pumpkin pie, but not everyone likes pumpkin pie, so why not switch it up and have a Butterfinger pie. This is one of my oldest and most favorite recipes……….make it as a second option. My bet is on the Butterfinger to be gone first…..get the recipe here Butterfingers Pie.
