After every Thanksgiving dinner comes copious amounts of leftovers. However, we can only make the same Thanksgiving sandwich so many times until we start craving something with more variety. This is where breakfast comes into play! That’s right, we’re talking about incorporating some of your Thanksgiving leftovers into your breakfast routine. And while this may sound unconventional at first, you’ll just have to trust us on this one. Stick around as one of your favorite Winchester restaurants explores some post-Thanksgiving breakfast inspo!
Leftover Turkey and Cranberry Omelet
Whip up a flavorful omelet by whisking eggs in a hot, greased skillet, then add diced leftover turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce, and some shredded cheese. Fold the omelet in half and cook until the eggs are perfectly set.
Thanksgiving Benedict
Reimagine Eggs Benedict by replacing the traditional English muffin with a stuffing or mashed potato cake. Top it with slices of leftover turkey, a beautifully poached egg, and a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
For a dessert-like breakfast, blend leftover pumpkin pie filling (minus the crust) with Greek yogurt, milk, a banana, and a dash of pumpkin pie spice.
Leftover Green Bean Breakfast Hash
Sauté your leftover green beans with diced potatoes, onions, and garlic, then add crumbled leftover bacon or pancetta for a savory twist. Create wells in the hash, crack eggs into them, and bake until they’re cooked to your liking.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Burrito
Mash up your leftover sweet potatoes and spread them on a tortilla. Add a medley of roasted vegetables, turkey slices, and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up and heat it on a skillet until it’s delightfully crispy.
Pumpkin Pie Stuffed French Toast
Make a sandwich with two slices of bread, cream cheese, and leftover pumpkin pie filling. Dip it in an egg mixture, then cook it on a griddle for a sweet breakfast treat!
Turkey and Stuffing Breakfast Burrito
Assemble a tortilla with diced turkey, stuffing, and a drizzle of cranberry sauce. Add some scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of cheese, roll it up, and warm it in a skillet for a hearty morning meal.
Savory Breakfast Pie
Line a pie dish with leftover mashed potatoes or stuffing, then top it with a layer of leftover vegetables and turkey. Pour beaten eggs over the filling and bake until it’s perfectly set.
