Perfect recipe options to re-purpose Thanksgiving leftovers for Week 12 New Orleans Saints

Thanksgiving week is here! As you put on your eating pants this Thursday and sit around the table with your loved ones to enjoy a home-cooked meal (and a New Orleans Saints victory over the Buffalo Bills), we want to give you a game plan for all those Thanksgiving leftovers throughout the weekend! Here's a few ways you can freshen up that remaining turkey, green beans, and more for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, courtesy of Hello Fresh and Ochsner Health registered dietitian Molly Kimball.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER RECIPES: BREAKFAST Turkey Egg "Muffins"

These low-carb, Paleo-friendly egg "muffins" for an on-the-go breakfast in the car or a fast pre-made snack when pressed for time. Mix things up by adding any type of leftover veggies and using other types of lean meats such as chicken, ham, or Canadian bacon. Makes 12 servings.

2 cups leftover turkey, thinly sliced 12 whole eggs 1 teaspoon low-sodium Cajun seasoning 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a muffin pan coated with cooking spray, press turkey into each muffin cup to cover the bottom and sides. Add one egg per "muffin." Sprinkle with a dash of Cajun seasoning and scallions. Bake for 12 minutes for slightly soft yolks (similar to a soft-boiled egg) or 15 minutes for a firmer texture. With a large spoon, scoop each muffin from the tin, and serve warm.

THANKSGIVING LEFTOVER RECIPES: LUNCH Cranberry-Apple Kale Salad with Parm Frico & Garlic Ciabatta

This hearty kale salad is the stuff of dinner dreams. Toss the tender greens with apple slices, roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potato, chewy dried cranberries, and a creamy, tangy honey Dijon dressing. It's all topped with Parm frico-aka deliciously crispy cheese wafers-for a hearty-yet-light-feeling dinner you're going to want to make again and again.

Thanksgiving leftover ingredients:

Brussel sprouts Sweet potatoes Dried cranberries (or fresh ones)

Quick instructions:

Sprinkle Parmesan into circles on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown (approx.. 6-8 minutes).

Break frico into bite-size pieces and sprinkle over the salad. -------------------------------------------------- Curried Turkey Salad
