Thanksgiving is the most traditional meal of the year, a menu from which cooks
rarely stray. But all bets are off the day after, when using up Thanksgiving
leftovers can take you in so many different directions. Let's hear it for next
level next-day creations with a global spin. We're talking turkey that's
comfortable South of the Border and cranberries that become dipping sauce for
colorful spring rolls.



Have a blast exploring these flavor-packed turkey dishes, so good you might want
to serve them year-round. We've also included some suggested beverage pairings
to make those leftovers party worthy.



1. Thanksgiving Won Tons



Stuff wrappers with chopped turkey and cranberries and fry until crispy. It just
doesn't get easier to transform the bird into something completely new. Think of
these crunchy bites as itty bitty hand pies that you'll want to dip into all
that extra cranberry sauce.



Sipping suggestion:Honey Milk Tea is a refreshing, non-boozy beverage from Hong
Kong that's been described as Bubble Tea without the tapioca balls.

2. Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Pho



Toasting fragrant spices like cardamom and star anise gives this Vietnamese
noodle soup a bright intensity that's neatly balanced by the slurp-able rice
noodles. Those spices are simmered with a turkey carcass for a warming dish that
your friends are going ask for throughout the year.



Sipping suggestion: The satisfying Dragon Fruit Shake doubles up the soothing
power of this comfort food meal.

3. Turkey Tom Kha Gai



Thai food has a reputation for being ultra-spicy, but this creamy creation
defies expectation by coming on all tangy. That's from a combination of
lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and fresh ginger. Yes, you can add more chili
oil if you want to turn up the heat.



Sipping suggestion: Stay cool with an icy pilsner from Germany, the "light" beer
that goes with all sorts of flavor-forward Thai dishes.

4. Leftover Turkey Spring Rolls



This one's like a super-size version of the won ton, going a step further by
including stir-fried cabbage. That naturally sweet cruciferous veggie brings out
the succulent savory of the turkey. You'll be eating the dipping sauce by the
spoonful.



Sipping suggestion: An off-dry Riesling from Washington state brings a whole lot
of fab fruit to this appetizer party, while not coming off as too sweet. Thanks
goes to those cool nights during the growing season that bump up the acidity.

5. Thanksgiving Turkey Congee



This popular rice porridge is eaten all across China, but it's still mostly
under-the-radar in the U.S., because the most authentic version is fairly bland.
The beauty of this preparation is that turkey bringing heaps of savory goodness
to the bowl.



Sipping suggestion: Green tea works if you're serving congee for breakfast or
brunch, while the rum-based Dark 'n' Stormy complements the ginger-y notes in
the dish if it's the dinner hour.

6. Enchiladas with Mole Sauce



Turkey loves bathing in the dark pepper sauce beloved in Mexico, the hint of
cocoa bringing out the best of the bird and smothering its tendency to turn dry.
Pass extra cojita cheese for a salty finish.



Sipping suggestion: A Beer Margarita is not only a party waiting to happen, it's
got the right amount of tart to smooth out the in-your-face spicy deliciousness
of the mole.

7. Thanksgiving Quesadilla



The flour tortilla version of a post-Turkey Day sandwich works because it
compacts the flavors in a tight space, adds gooey cheese and turns the whole
thing toasty crisp. Want to keep the Thanksgiving theme rolling? Salsa-fy your
cranberries with a couple shakes of hot pepper sauce.



Sipping suggestion: A Michelada is so much more than an ordinary red beer,
bringing so much good cheer by including lime juice, chili pepper flakes and
Mexican lager to the mix.

8. Top-Notch Turkey Tettrazini



You're already wearing Fat Pants after the Big Feast. Might as well indulge in
this creamy, cheesy pasta dish that's too fancy to be called a casserole. But,
hey, it's not all about the calories. There's chopped parsley on top, right? And
green is good for you.



Sipping suggestion: Italian Pinot Grigio is the kind of crisp, well-balanced
white that might convince beer lovers to grab a wine glass instead.




9. Juli's Thanksgiving Nachos



These scoop nachos offer a tantalizing way to use up leftover turkey and
craqnberry sauce. Betty Soup says, "These nachos give you the perfect mix of
Tex-Mex and Thanksgiving flavors in every bite."
