Thanksgiving brings a lot of great things to family, friends, and
food. But this was being celebrated not just in America but in Canada as well. It is a national holiday celebrated on various dates and it began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. One of the main courses we make was the turkey, sandwiches, pot pies and salads.
After spending so much time making the ultimate
Thanksgiving feast for your loved ones, you should be able to enjoy the food for more than just one meal. Now, here are some awesome recipes you can do for your leftovers and transform them into a satisfying meal for everybody.
