Over 50 of the Best Dairy-Free Recipes for using Thanksgiving Leftovers

Alisa Fleming ~ 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 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.

Below you will find numerous delicious ways to use that leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, cornbread, pumpkin, tofurky ... yes, there are even recipes out there for using up extra faux meat. But, 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 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!
