What's next - Turkey Cheesecake?

I assume we aren’t the only ones with 87 pounds of leftover turkey and dressing in the fridge. Not to mention green beans, pies, etc. I’ll confess that over the weekend the two of us managed to eat both quarts of leftover mac and cheese, along with three quarters of a pecan pie.

But what to do with all that turkey and white bread stuffing? (the sausage and cornbread stuffing is tasty by itself) My (what I thought was totally original) answer - turkey cakes. Think crab cake, only with turkey and dressing instead of crab and bread crumbs. Very tasty, if I do say so myself - and quite presentable, especially with leftover gravy and cranberry sauce! See below:

So that takes care of the leftover stuffing and about 1/10 of the turkey we have on hand. Come to find out, “turkey croquettes” are nothing new. New to me, though!

What are y’all doing with your leftovers?
