 What to do with Leftover Stuffing

Every year we have so many leftovers after Thanksgiving. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy...but NEVER stuffing. Gluten free stuffing goes fast in this house! This year I made a triple batch, and that was more than enough!

Try my homemade Gluten Free Stuffing recipe in this recipe! Super yum!!

I had two containers in my refrigerator packed full! Time to make something up! I needed some leftover stuffing ideas quick! Have you ever made eggs and just tossed in a bunch of ingredients into the pan?

This is sort of what happened with this recipe. It all started with a beautiful butternut squash from our local farmer's market. I had wanted to tie this butternut squash with my leftovers.

If you haven't read all about my local farmer's market in other posts, you can read more about it in this recipe for ground pork lettuce wraps.

This leftover Thanksgiving stuffing recipe is so easy to make!

I sliced the butternut squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and roast it partway. Next, add some stuffing, leftover turkey, mushrooms, pecans, etc. You can add anything, even cranberries!

Ways to Cook Butternut Squash:

• In this recipe, I roasted the butternut squash in my oven.
• If you are in a hurry, you can microwave the butternut squash to quickly get it ready to stuff. Place the de-seeded butternut squash halves face down in a microwave-safe dish. Cook for 8 minutes.

The stuffing is full of leftover turkey, stuffing, mushrooms, pecans, and mozzarella cheese. The flavors bake in wonderfully with the butternut squash.

Can you make this recipe dairy-free?

To keep this recipe dairy-free, just use Daiya or a cheese substitute!
