It’s hard to top a Thanksgiving meal, but if you look forward to the leftovers the next day more than the actual feast, Butterball has created a brand new breakfast (yes, breakfast!) recipe you will definitely want to try.
Butterball Test Kitchen’s new Ultimate Leftover Turkey Waffle Sandwich takes all your Thanksgiving Day favorites and turns them into a post-Thanksgiving breakfast. You’ll need sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy and (of course) turkey. You can also add anything else you have left, like green beans or other vegetables.
You will also need a waffle maker and aluminum foil, so make sure you have both before beginning. Check out the full recipe below:
Ultimate Leftover Turkey Waffle Sandwich
Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes (can substitute russet potatoes if desired)
1 6-ounce box turkey flavored instant stuffing mix (or leftover, already made stuffing)
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 14-ounce can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 12-ounce jar roasted turkey gravy
1⁄2-pound cooked Butterball turkey breast, sliced 1⁄4-inch thick
1 container of spring greens mixture
Directions
1. Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions. Spread cooked stuffing onto a baking sheet and allow to cool slightly. Transfer cooled stuffing to a large mixing bowl. add egg stuffing and mix well. Divide stuffing mixture into two portions.
2. Place sheets of foil over two plates, spray with cooking spray. Arrange stuffing portions onto each plate. Press stuffing into a compact circle (about the size of waffle maker) to form a stuffing patty.
3. Let stand 5-10 minutes to firm up slightly. Turn on the waffle maker and start reheating leftovers of your choice such as sweet potatoes and green beans.
4. Once waffle maker is hot, spray it with non-stick cooking spray and flip (or slide off plate with a spatula) stuffing patty onto waffle maker. Close top and press down slightly. Allow waffle to cook until golden brown and toasted.
5. Place cooked waffle on a cutting board; slice in half. Spread each half with warmed sweet potatoes and top with turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy and greens. Top with second half. Serve immediately. Repeat with remaining stuffing portion.
The waffle sandwich is just one of a few recipes created by Butterball’s Test Kitchen this year. Other recipes include Thanksgiving Roll Ups and Spicy Dry Brined Turkey.
This year also marks 40 years since Butterball started their Turkey Talk-Line, offering help to customers who are struggling with their Thanksgiving dinners since 1981. While the talk line was originally only offered over the phone, advice is now being dispatched on Butterball.com, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, live chats, texting, emails, via Amazon’s Alexa and, new this year, through TikTok.

Healthy twists on your favorite Thanksgiving comfort foods
If healthy Thanksgiving recipes are what you need, I’ve gotcha covered with this collection of the best, all-natural Thanksgiving dinner ideas.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. A day for family, eating too much, and either playing football or sacking out on the couch.
Of all the holidays where food is at the center, Thanksgiving is the easiest holiday meal to make healthy.
While most people will just throw in the towel and eat a bunch of junky traditional foods and then feel terrible after dinner, you don’t have to end up feeling like you swallowed a 2-ton truck.
A healthy Thanksgiving dinner is easy to plan, easy to make, and nobody will know the difference. Except maybe when their tummy doesn’t hurt so bad when the meal is done.

Green bean casserole is a Thanksgiving tradition in many American homes. I don’t think I’ve been to a Thanksgiving dinner yet where this casserole was not part of the meal. The problem is, it’s always made with condensed, canned “cream of chemical” soup. And we won’t even talk about the french fried onions that are usually dumped by the boatload on top of what could be a very nutritious and still delicious side dish. Not wanting to leave this recipe unturned, I set to work and created this delicious healthy green bean casserole recipe!
It’s a wonderful substitute that won’t leave you running for the gym right after dinner and nobody at my holiday table knew the difference. All they mentioned was how good it was. Now that’s my kind of Thanksgiving side dish!

This is a recipe my mom made for me years ago. I was so impressed with it, I’ve been making it ever since. There’s just something about a caramelized carrot that gets me salivating. The full-bodied flavor induces a fabulously tasty explosion in your mouth. Add a little dill and… man oh man, is it ever good!
The nice thing about this little side dish is that it’s so easy and quick to prepare. You can also prepare it vegetarian or non-vegetarian to suit your needs.

This homemade stuffing recipe is sure to become a staple at your holiday table, just like it has at mine.
I’ve tried to make stuffing recipes in the past without much success. So I tried again this year, and voila! A fabulous, homemade stuffing recipe made from croutons. It’s perfect for the holiday season!
In the testing stages, a lot of my croutons got eaten up by a certain little boy who shall remain nameless <cough – Mini Chef – cough>. In fact, my croutons disappeared at such an alarming rate that I eventually had to hide them to have enough left over for this recipe! But he loved the stuffing too, so it was a win-win. Thanksgiving will definitely be tasty this year and we definitely found our family favorite!

It’s been many years, but I do remember eating creamed corn when I was a little girl. It was tasty, to be sure. But nothing as good as homemade! And for those of you who are dairy-free, this recipe doesn’t use any dairy at all! (If you use non-dairy butter, that is.)
