The day after Thanksgiving is meant for sleeping, resting, and reveling in the company of loved ones. But chances are you've got a fridge full of leftovers that are aching to be repurposed. Luckily for you, your slow cooker is here to help.
Get out your Crockpot™ slow cooker, and try one of these Thanksgiving leftover treats from Jenn Bare.

Turkey Noodle Soup

How do you feel about chicken noodle soup? If it's favorable, then you've got to try this festive take on the dish, which substitutes your leftover turkey for chicken.

Instructions
1. Begin by cutting your turkey into small pieces, then adding 2 cups worth to your slow cooker.
2. Dice 1 small onion and add it to the stoneware, then stir in 1 chopped carrot and 2 chopped celery stalks.
3. Next, add 4 cups of water, 4 cups of turkey broth, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 bay leaf.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook for 4 hours on low.
5. When the meal has completed cooking, take away the bay leaf and add 6 ounces of noodles.
6. Place the lid back on the slow cooker and allow the soup to cook for an additional 1/2 hour.

Thanksgiving Casserole

Have a lot of leftovers you're not quite sure what to do with? This leftover Thanksgiving casserole is the answer. And it’s super easy to make it in your Crockpot 3.5-Quart Casserole Crock™ Slow Cooker.

Instructions
1. Start by spraying your slow cooker with a nonstick cooking spray, then adding 3 cups of prepared stuffing to the bottom.
2. Add 1/2 cup cranberry sauce on top, then a layer consisting of 4 cups cooked turkey.
3. Combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese in a bowl, gently pouring half of the result on the turkey.
