ReFED Predicts More Than 300 Million Pounds of Food Will Go To Waste This Thanksgiving
Let's stop the waste and challenge ourselves to use up as much leftover food from our Thanksgiving meal as possible!

You can take it a step further and reuse the carcass and a bunch of leftover vegetables — including mashed potatoes — to make a delicious turkey soup. Check out the recipe for Next Day Turkey Soup at The Food Network: Next-Day Turkey Soup with Mashed Potato Polpetti
