Leftover conversion:  in my family, it's obvious this time of year.  The
loads of leftover turkey will become turkey sandwiches, turkey salads, & 
turkey & (also leftover) gravy over (reheated) mashed potatoes & stuffing.  
Lots of mashed potatoes left over means we'll see hash browns a bit later. 
Picking the turkey's remains clean indeed is an important job.  The least
desirable little scraps & bits become a seasonal little-extra-bonus-on-top
in the pet food bowl.  Leftover cookies & pies just come back as-is until 
finished off.  Rolls & breads come back once, then become bread crumbs for 
meatloaf.  The remains of fresh veggie snack trays (celery, cauliflower,
carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, etc. return in salads, then baked into a
quiche or casserole.  When there's lots of something that will freeze okay
(usually meat), some is frozen to come back mid-January or so.
