This Thanksgiving Leftover Roundup is full of ideas to help you prevent waste and use up all of your gluten-free holiday leftovers. After all, most Thanksgiving leftovers are simply-prepped ingredients, ready to become a new dish.

A grid of 6 food photos of meals made from Thanksgiving leftovers. Chicken gnocchi soup, root veggie soup, pumpkin waffles, potato bread, a Thanksgiving Grazing table, and sweet potato chili.

I love a good Thanksgiving leftover sandwich as much as the next person, but after a couple days I’m ready for something different. Have an extra can of pumpkin puree? Make some pumpkin waffles. Make some soup or chili with your turkey and veggies. Bake a loaf of potato bread with those leftover potatoes. Or put together a grazing table.
