Thanksgiving leftovers are a recipe genre in their own right and, though I love a sandwich, it does not hurt to have some other, slightly more innovative leftover strategies at the ready. This is particularly true if you want to eat your leftovers for breakfast.


Stuffing waffles require nothing more than some leftover stuffing and a waffle maker, but my stuffing waffles also call for bacon (you can use bits) and cheese. (The cheddar crisps up around the edges of the waffle, which is quite delightful.) Top it with a savory whipped cream that’s been infused with whatever herbs you have lying around, and you’ll barely recognize the damp bread of yesterday.
