Delicious way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers! This Thanksgiving Leftovers Stromboli is easy and it allows you to relive your Thanksgiving feast but in a single bite without having to do much at all!
Why This Recipe Works
Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? We spent time with family and did our typical gorging on delicious food.
As always, we came home with containers packed with leftovers. I wanted to try something extra creative this year, so I wrapped the leftovers in dough to create a yummy Stromboli.
I will be making this every year. If you still have leftovers in your fridge, give it a try. If not, bookmark it for next year because it makes the next day(s) meal soooo easy! It’s a great way to make sure you enjoy every bite made from this holiday meal.

Recipe Ingredients
Pizza dough – Buy this dough frozen or in the refrigerator section. Or make a no yeast dough that can be made quickly.
Turkey – If there is leftover turkey from the big day, dark or white meat will work great. Just shred some up and add it to the dough.
Stuffing – This will add great flavor and texture with the other ingredients.
Mashed potatoes – Garlic mashed potatoes or just plain will both work!
Corn – Who doesn’t love a little corn topping all the Thanksgiving foods heaped on a plate? This can be sweet corn or creamed corn.
Cranberries – Whether they are cranberries from a can or they are prepared in the Instant Pot with fresh berries, this will add sweetness to the savory meal.
Gravy – There are many flavors of gravy and none are a bad choice here.
How To Make Thanksgiving Leftovers Stromboli
Step 1
Thaw a 1-pound frozen round of pizza dough according to the package directions. Throw a bit of flour onto a flat surface and, using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately the size of 14×10 inches.
Step 2
Working parallel to the shortest sides, place rows of Thanksgiving leftovers onto the dough, keeping a 1-inch border on all sides.
Stuffing, turkey, Creamed Corn, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Cranberries and gravy…go crazy!
Step 3
Fold the short ends over, followed by the long ends.
Starting at a short end, carefully roll into a log. Place the log onto a lightly oiled, parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush melted butter over the dough.
Step 4
Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Cut into thick slices and serve! This is so yummy!

What a great recipe!! And, what a great way to use Thanksgiving leftovers! I made 2 and froze them to serve at my book club in two weeks. I will definitely make this again.
Made this Stromboli! Very easy and fun! The dough inside stayed uncooked based on the time given for my oven so I had to put back in the oven!
I added cheese to mine too!
Thanks for the idea!!
Sometimes when I change the pan that I bake things in, they take longer to heat up, thus having to bake longer as well – especially if I use a stone. But I love my baking stones! Glad you enjoyed it – thanks for sharing!
