We always end up with piles of Thanksgiving leftovers. Now, I’m a fan of turkey with all the fixings, but eating the same meal – again and again and again – gets a bit boring. So I’m always looking for different things to do with our turkey leftovers. This Turkey Mac & Cheese was a big hit with my whole family!
Freezer-Friendly Turkey Mac & Cheese

The best part about this? There was no cooking to be done the day I put it together! Seriously. Use some leftover turkey, a few hard boiled eggs, and toss the noodles in uncooked. Wrap it all up in a disposable 9×13 aluminum pan. Cover it with Saran Wrap and heavy-duty aluminum foil, and pop it in your freezer for later! (Don’t forget to label it with the name, date, and cooking instructions.)
Did I mention that my whole family liked this dish? My parents were in town, and even my dad (who is a bit of a picky eater) went back for seconds. And Baby Doc? Oh, he loved the cheesy sauce!
Just make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand. The cheese sauce is delicious, and there is lots of it!
