Thanksgiving dinner is a highly anticipated meal. Maybe you've looked forward to it all year. And now that it's almost here, you know, without a doubt, there will be leftovers. The chances of you being left with a ton of food afterward are pretty high. This is especially true if you're hosting at your house. And while most of us love a day or two of leftovers... after that, you start to get burnt out. There are only so many turkey sandwiches one person can eat! But since there's a lot of money involved in putting together a huge meal like that, you definitely don't want to see the food go to waste either. So what do you do with all those Thanksgiving leftovers?

We decided to turn to TikTok and see how everyone else handles those Thanksgiving leftovers to help you out this year! And just a reminder, be sure to check to see how long each item lasts in the refrigerator... because no one wants you to get sick from eating leftovers that have gone bad!
