Over 50 Dairy-Free Recipes for Thanksgiving Leftovers

You didn’t think I would leave you hanging did you? All of these amazing Dairy-Free Thanksgiving Recipes, and no creative ways to enjoy the Thanksgiving leftovers? Not a chance. Waste not, want not is a saying that I truly live by, so below is a list of recipes to help prevent a single morsel of that holiday smorgesbord from heading to the trash.

So many Thanksgiving leftovers recipes use copius amounts of cheese or other dairy products to morph them into a casserole. But there are plenty of creative ways to use up those delicious remains without a drop of milk. This post includes a round-up of dairy-free recipes to help you enjoy that leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, cornbread, pumpkin, and tofurky (yes, there are even recipes out there for using up extra faux meat) for many meals to come. Vegans and vegetarians need not feel shy about checking out the leftover turkey recipes, too. Several will work equally well with Tofurky.

Just like my Thanksgiving post, these Thanksgiving leftovers recipes are already dairy-free (that is, no milk-based ingredients (no casein, lactose, whey, etc.)), so there is no need for alterations, unless you are feeling adventurous of course! And you thought you were done cooking …
