While we all love Thanksgiving, and the traditional turkey with all the extras, we often wonder…what are we going to do with all those leftovers? Well…host a Thanksgiving Leftover Party, of course!

Hellmann’s is hosting a Turkey Challenge, just like the Chicken Challenge, they are kicking things up a notch and have transformed your favorite Turkey dishes with Hellmann’s mayonnaise.

Who knew Thanksgiving leftovers could be so good?!?

Over the next week or so, I will be sharing all the recipes, table settings and decorations from our Thanksgiving Leftover Party. The sweet treats and the decorating will be here on Hoosier Homemade and all the other recipes will be on Pocket Change Gourmet.

Here is what you can look forward to…

5. Turkey Cupcakes from Cupcake Tuesday and Stenciled Turkey Cupcakes from Cupcake Chronicles Newsletter

13. Turkey Casserole from Bobby Flay with Hellmann’s

Because I couldn’t leave without sharing at least one of these amazing recipes with you, I thought we should start with the star of the party…Turkey Casserole.

You see…like I mentioned earlier, there is a little challenge going on, Bobby Flay created Stuffing Crusted Turkey Cutlets, Hellmann’s created Savory Turkey Loaf and this Turkey Casserole.

Now, although we haven’t tried the Turkey Cutlets or the Loaf yet, if they are anything like the Turkey Casserole, they are sure to be a hit in our home! The kids loved the Turkey Casserole, which kind of surprised me because they really aren’t much for their food all mixed together. Now me on the other hand, I love casseroles of any kind. Especially because they are so easy to prepare, make-ahead and also freeze really well.
