22 Nov Thanksgiving Leftovers 3 Ways

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we’re so excited to eat all of that delicious food that we’re already dreaming of the leftovers. But even our favorite Thanksgiving foods can get a little boring after three days straight. So we found some fun ways to shake up the usual turkey/stuffing/cranberry sandwich and fully enjoy every last bite.

Leftover Sweet Potato Biscuit
From Home Cooking Memories
Make the classic leftovers sandwich twice as delicious; eat it on these biscuits instead of regular bread!

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces
1 cup leftover sweet potato casserole*
1/8 to 1/4 cup milk

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use cooking spray.
Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender.
Add sweet potato and stir until just combined.
Add 1/8 cup of milk and stir until dough forms a smooth ball (not to wet, not too dry). If needed, add more milk, 2 tablespoons at a time. If your dough becomes wet and sticky, add a little flour until it can be handled.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut 2 inch rounds using a biscuit cutter** and place on your baking sheet.
Re-roll remaining dough and continue cutting until all dough is used.
Bake 9 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

*if using mashed sweet potatoes, add 2 tbsp brown sugar to your dry ingredients
**a cookie cutter, or even a clean drinking glass will work too
