Thanksgiving in a Blanket
The day after Thanksgiving I am always wracking my brain on what to make with my Thanksgiving leftovers, but this year I am really excited to make this Thanksgiving in a Blanket recipe.
I love it because it literally can use every single leftover from Thanksgiving dinner and is so simple to make. Just pop open the can of crescent rolls, roll them out. Fill them up with leftovers, bake and enjoy.
This delicious meal is a little messy to eat, but requires very little effort to make which we all love after cooking for the last two days in the kitchen.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
- If you have kids that are not a fan of cranberry sauce you can omit this.
- Feel free to stuff your crescent rolls with any leftovers that you have. It’s a fun way to use up all your favorite Thanksgiving dishes.
- Be sure to not overstuff the rolls or it will be hard for you to close them and to stay closed while baking.

course be careful because the filling will be hot.

It is best to consume these right after you make them. Since you will be heating up the leftovers for the second time I highly recommend discarding your leftover Thanksgiving in a blankets.
