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.

    Delicata squash, as its name implies, is a finely flavored, richly sweet winter squash with a nearly fibreless flesh. Cylindrical in shape, with elongated ridges, this squash has yellow to pale orange skin with green striations. Its beautiful yellow flesh and delicate flavor make it perfect for this puréed soup.
