Turkey sandwiches are easy. But what about the mountain of cranberries, mashed potatoes and other leftovers? Reinvent them, as we have with Sweet Potato Bisque. More ideas:

Potato Cakes: Combine 4 cups mashed potatoes with a minced onion and a well-beaten egg. Pat into 3-inch cakes and pan-fry over medium, 5 minutes on each side.

Cranberry Cheesecake: Beat together two 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, 2 eggs, ½ cup cream, ½ cup sugar. Add 2 cups homemade-type cranberry sauce; pour into a graham-cracker crust. Bake for 40 minutes at 325˚F.
