Here in Portugal it's normal on December 26th to cook with the Christmas leftovers. Is there anything like that in the States with Thanksgiving leftovers?
8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving | Vox
On Thanksgiving, Americans throw the equivalent of about 8 million of these turkeys in the trash, according to an estimate by ReFED, a nonprofit that works to reduce food waste. And this year will be the third Thanksgiving in a row celebrated amid an out-of-control bird flu outbreak, in which tens of millions of chickens and turkeys on infected farms have been culled using stomach-churning extermination methods.

My family has always a Pot Pie Night on the day after Thanksgiving. My sister (a baker by trade) rolls out a lot of pie dough and we fill as many casseroles as can be found with a varied mixture of leftovers (with cranberry sauce or without, vegetarian or mostly turkey, etc.). Throw them all in the oven and have a fantastic meal #2.
It is a fun way to include friends and family that couldn’t make the main holiday meal the night before.

Pot pie night is a great idea! In generally, pot pie us a great idea, but using it as a family get together redux is smart.

People here often make sandwiches out of the leftovers. Something I've always called a turkey tissel: turkey meat, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, celery, between two pieces of sourdough bread.
Looking it up just now, I realize there may not be anyone else in the world who calls it a turkey tissel.
