Southern Plate Recipes For Thanksgiving AND Your Leftover Turkey!
Perfect Pecan Pie (Guaranteed not to be pecan soup!)
With just two days until Thanksgiving, I thought I’d give y’all some last minute ideas by showing you Southern Plate recipes which will definitely be on our Thanksgiving table this year! We have an obscene amount of food but every family goes home with plenty of leftovers so nothing goes to waste! These are just a few of our standards, whose recipes I’ve already covered on Southern Plate.
At the bottom of this post, I have a list of Southern Plate recipes to help you use up that leftover turkey! I’ll be posting again before Thanksgiving but I wanted to get this to y’all in time for your last minute grocery store trips!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y’ALL!

Leftover Turkey, Hooray!
Waste not, want not! Those words hold more truth than ever right after our Thanksgiving feasts. Hopefully, you are fortunate enough to have had a turkey at your house and are blessed with leftovers. What to do with all of that turkey? First off, DON’T THROW IT AWAY!!! The very first thing I do is shred my turkey and place it in zipper sealed bags to freeze. If you have a little broth, put a tablespoon or so in each bag to ensure it stays nice and moist. I usually put about a cup and a half of shredded turkey per bag. That is a good amount for most casseroles and such and if you need more, simply get two bags from your freezer.
To help you use up those leftovers, here are some Southern Plate recipes in which you simple exchange turkey for the chicken and you’re off to the races! Why not use this time to try out some new dishes?!
