A few tips to help you stay on track during the food-heavy holiday season

Don’t Restrict Yourself–I have found that I do the worst when I try to restrict myself from having anything that does not fit into my idea of “healthy eating” so I try not to completely ban all foods around me.

Portion Control–Portion Control is probably the biggest and most important tip that I can give you. Sometimes a bite will cure any cravings I might be having or a very small portion of my favorite dishes.

Make Substitutes–Another great option is to make substitutions for your favorite foods. For example, cauliflower mashed potatoes instead of real potatoes or make a pumpkin pie but omit the crust to cut down on sugar and carbs.

Remember, we got this! We can make it through the holidays without feeling like we are missing out by making small, yet important changes.

Round up of Instant Pot recipes

If you like these you’re going to want to check out my epic, always being added to, list of Weight Watchers Turkey Recipes. There is everything on there from soups and salads to entrees.

Let’s not waste any chit chat. I want to share the good stuff with you. I found 12 leftover turkey casserole recipes that are absolutely delightful.

I hope you love them as much as we do.

Instant Pot Leftover Turkey Pasta– Creamy pasta with turkey. Yes, please! Get in my belly. Pasta is something I don’t indulge in very often, but when I do it’s going to be with a delicious cream sauce and turkey.

Turkey Tetrazzini Another great turkey and pasta option. Tetrazzini may sound intimidating to make, but it can be quite simple. Instead of making your own sauce (if that just feels like too much) simply use a jar of white sauce from the grocer. Yes, it will be just as good. In this recipe you’d skip the first 11 ingredients and replace with a jar of white sauce. Easy Peasy.

Tetrazzini Casserole with Leftover Turkey: This tetrazzini recipe is a bit easier using cream cheese to create the sauce. Beginning cooks can easily complete this recipe. For more advanced cooks use your favorite bechamel sauce.

Turkey Pot Pie with Cheddar Garlic Biscuits Biscuits and gravy are always a go in our house. Using biscuits to make a turkey pot pie means there might be fights over the leftovers 🙂

Turkey Shephard Pie This recipe will use your leftover turkey AND leftover mashed potatoes. The perfect combination.

Turkey Pasta Bake Pasta bakes are always a hit. I love them because they are basically a “toss everything into a casserole dish” and cook. No watching, stirring, wondering if I have the right temp. Perfect for busy days or days where you just want to relax.

Turkey a la King This is one that we haven’t had in a while. This recipe serves the turkey over a baked potato, but if you have leftover biscuits you could use that instead of potatoes. Remember, its all about using up those holiday leftovers so feel free to get creative in the kitchen.

Kitchen Sink Shepherds Pie Kitchen sink recipes are a great way to use up leftovers and this one does not disappoint. Only have leftover sweet potatoes and not mashed potatoes? No worries, simply whip those up and use instead.

Turkey Salad Sandwiches Ok, it’s not TECHNICALLY a casserole, but its sooooo good and a great way to use leftovers that I had to share. You could add some cranberry relish to this sandwich as well for an extra burst of flavor. 

Leftover Turkey and Mashed Potato Fritters They might not look pretty, but it’s like Thanksgiving dinner in a fritter. You have to try these.

Leftover Turkey Enchilada Casserole – I love a really good enchilada recipe so when I found one that lets me combine turkey into an enchilada recipe I’m all in.

Turkey & Potato Casserole – Simply replace the ground turkey for diced leftover turkey breast in this recipe for the perfect post-Thanksgiving casserole!

Weight Watchers is also known for its meetings and social support systems, although the diet now offers options for an online program that doesn’t require meetings. If you are considering losing weight through a formal diet program, you may want to research the various options offered by Weight Watchers.

Points System

The points system might be the most recognizable aspect of the Weight Watchers program. This system assigns a points value to all foods from a list of 27,000. The figure is derived from the food’s fat, calorie and fiber content.

As long as you stay within your pre-determined points limit, you can eat whatever foods you want. The points system can help you conceptualize which foods are “dangerous” and in what amount they are acceptable. This is why finding Weight Watchers Zero Point Recipes is so helpful.

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Goat Cheese & Tomato Crepes Directions

Combine eggs, half and half, and olive oil in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. If desired, season batter with savory or sweet ingredients as described above.

Lightly spray a 10” non-stick skillet with non-stick cooking spray and set over medium-low heat. (You may want to adjust heat up slightly to just below medium).

Pour ¼ cup of egg batter into preheated skillet and swirl pan to evenly coat the bottom with a thin layer. If any holes appear, add a little more batter to fill. Cover pan and cook until egg batter begins to set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.

Once set, gently loosen the edges with a silicon spatula and flip the crepe, being careful to not break or tear it in the process. Cook for one minute more and remove crepe from pan. Repeat with remaining batter.

Place desired filling ingredients in the center of each crepe and fold over both sides to cover. Serve immediately and enjoy!

This healthy entrée features chicken and plenty of fresh vegetables. It can be enjoyed on its own or served over a bed of cauliflower rice to absorb the delicious, rich sauce. I love that it’s only ONE freestyle point and packed full of flavor.

The new Weight Watchers Freestyle program makes staying on the plan so much easier when we can enjoy meals like this Tex Mex chicken recipe.

The flavor is even better the next day, so consider making a double batch for a quick and healthy lunch the following day.
