This Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Hash is the perfect post holiday meal! It uses a mix of sweet and savory leftovers and will be a huge hit. It’s so delicious and is simple to put together, for a great day-after-thanksgiving breakfast.
Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Hash
We love non-recipe recipe’s over here, and this is the perfect one. While this Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Hash certainly is a recipe, it leaves a lot of room for creativity based off of what you served at your Thanksgiving meal. Using both sweet and savory elements, this hash uses brussels sprouts, potatoes, turkey and cranberry sauce to make the ultimate post holiday meal. Plus, we include some other options to use, just in case you don’t have all the leftovers you need to make it!
Top it with a fried egg, or eat it as is. Either way, it’ll be delicious and dare we say it, maybe even better than the actual Thanksgiving dinner?
Ingredients for Thanksgiving Leftover Breakfast Hash
Here is what we included in our leftover hash. We went ahead and offered alternatives for each ingredient, just in case you don’t have all of the suggested ingredients.
Bacon: Start with fresh bacon here!
Onion: Also, fresh. Using some fresh elements gives this a “new” feel to the hash.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts: If you didn’t have roasted brussels, either use fresh (they’ll cook at the same time) or substitute in another hearty vegetable. Or alternatively you could use something like leftover green beans, though you’d want to wait to add those until the end.
Roasted Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes: If you didn’t have these, go ahead and use fresh potatoes. You must par-boil them first. To do so, boil them until they are just barely tender. Then, finishing cooking them for a few more minutes in the actual skillet with the other leftovers.
Leftover Turkey Meat: If there is one thing you likely have leftovers of, it’s this! If you didn’t you could substitute in cooked chicken.
Cranberry Sauce: This sweetness really brings the dish all together! If you didn’t have any leftover cranberry sauce, use a fresh apple. Add it to the skillet along with the brussels sprouts so it can cook all the way through.
Salt and Pepper: Depending on how well seasoned your original food is will dictate how much seasoning you may need to add. Don’t add any until the end.

This Oven Roasted Turkey Breast with Pear Chutney is a Fall meal at its best and a staple at my family holiday dinners! The perfect simple and flavorful dish to please a crowd!
Easy Boneless Turkey Breast Recipe
I absolutely love all the fall and winter holidays, for two reasons. The first is that it brings all my family together. Second, it means we all get together and cook and eat ALL the best comfort food. For my family, a turkey roast is always on the menu (along with Nanny’s famous rolled cabbage, brisket, and Sweet and Sour Meatballs). I grew up eating this delicious turkey roast, so I have to give a big Lexi’s Clean Kitchen shout out to my amazing mom who made this constantly! She’s not a huge cook, so trust me when I say that you will not believe how simple this is to throw together!
This turkey breast roast is a little different than the Stuffed Turkey Breast I have on the site. For one, this roast isn’t stuffed, but conveniently left in the butcher’s twine and cooked as is. And this recipe is made sweet and savory, thanks to the pairing of this easy pear chutney. It’s the perfect fall meal, small Thanksgiving feast or winter holiday dinner meal. I know we’ll likely have it on our menu this year, and I hope you give it a try too!
Ingredients Needed for Boneless Turkey Breast Roast
Boneless Turkey Breast Roast
Olive Oil
Chicken or Turkey Broth
Onion
Paprika
Sea Salt and Pepper
I paired this turkey breast roast with the most delicious pear chutney. It’s simple to makes and really makes this dish special. I love that salty and sweet combination this dish has.
How to Roast a Boneless Turkey Breast
First, place the boneless turkey breast in a roasting dish.
Rub oil, spices and grated garlic on top of the turkey breast. Then add onions and broth to the baking dish.
Bake for 1-2 hours until the meat thermometer reaches 170 °F while basting every 30 minutes.
Once it’s done cooking let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with pan drippings before serving.
Sides to Pair with this Oven Roasted Turkey Breast Recipe
Make the chutney: In a medium saucepan, heat oil for about 2-3 minutes until hot. Add in onions and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add raisins and let cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in everything else and stir well. Let simmer for 10 minutes, until sauce thickens and pears are fork tender. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Bake for 2 1/2 hours until the meat thermometer reaches 165 °F (adjust cooking time for the size of the roast you buy). Every 30 minutes, make sure to baste the turkey by spooning a few spoonfuls of sauce over it. During this basting process, check the temperature of the turkey breast. The baking time will change depending on the size of the turkey roast you choose!
Before serving, baste again with the onion/juice mixture!
Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Note: Make sure to baste the turkey! Every 30 minutes carefully pour a little of the broth over the turkey until the turkey is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and if you’ve volunteered to host your loved ones for this all-important meal, you might be feeling just a litttttle overwhelmed. It doesn’t have to be that way, though! With a little extra thought, planning, and this Thanksgiving Checklist, you can cut a lot of the stress out of the experience and give your guests an amazing Turkey Day experience.
The holidays (Thanksgiving, in particular) are a time for gratitude, and I know you’re going to be especially grateful for this pre-Thanksgiving checklist. Start working your way through it as early as you can for minimum stress levels. You’ve got this!
Your Ultimate 2019 Thanksgiving Checklist
How to keep calm and carry on this Turkey Day.
1. Finalize your guest list. Before you can really dig into the details of your Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll need to finalize the all-important head count for the meal. It might feel a little awkward to hound friends and family members for their RSVP to Turkey Day, but the sooner you start, the more comfortable you’ll feel following up with them as the big event approaches. Check in with people who usual celebrate Thanksgiving with you to see if they’ll be joining you again, and extend invites to new attendees ASAP. You can even step up your game by sending pretty paper or digital invites.
2. Check on allergies and other dietary restrictions. As loved ones confirm that they’ll be coming to Thanksgiving, check to see if there are any allergies or other restrictions that you should know about. This will give you a chance to plan your menu with those limitations in mind and will avoid a last-minute rush to come up with at least one dish that your friend or family member can enjoy. If your guest offers to bring a dish or two that will fit into their diet, don’t argue with them about it — welcome it!
3. Confirm what guests are bringing. Make a list of the Thanksgiving dishes that you don’t especially love to make and then outsource it to one of your relatives! If you have some ideas of side dishes or desserts that you’d like to delegate, you’ll be much more prepared when guests ask how they can help… which they probably will.
5. Consider your quantities. You know who’s coming and you know what you’re making. But how much do you need to make? This handy chart is a great place to start! In addition to turkey, I like to offer guests two sides plus a soup or three sides. If your loved ones are bringing their own contributions to dinner, the more, the merrier!
6. Place your ButcherBox order! You know how much I love my friends at ButcherBox… and they are especially wonderful friends to have come the holiday season. ButcherBox is a meat delivery subscription company that allows you to curate a box of high-quality proteins that are then delivered right to your door. Their beef is grass-fed and grass-finished, their pork is heritage breed, and their chicken is all free-range and organic. And they offer turkey for Thanksgiving, so get your order placed ASAP! New ButcherBox customers can even get a free turkey with their first box.
7. Check your kitchen supplies. No one wants to find themselves starting prep for the Thanksgiving feast onThanksgiving morning and suddenly short on tools and utensils necessary for their recipes. Get ahead of this problem by reviewing your supply inventory with a few weeks to spare! We love our favorite meat thermometer! This will give you plenty of time to pick things up and might even inspire you to treat yourself to a few new (and useful) items.
8. Lay out a cooking schedule. Roughly one week before the big day, sit down with your recipes and make a plan. What can you make ahead of time and freeze or refrigerate? What dishes need to be made in a few phases or over a few days? What needs to wait until the morning of? Use this info to lay out a cooking schedule. It might also help you make a plan for grocery shopping!
9. Get to the store early. A supermarket is probably the last place anyone wants to be on Thanksgiving morning… or even the night before. Once you’ve made your cooking schedule, you’ll have a better idea of what ingredients need to be picked up and by when. If these ingredients are coming from different places (multiple grocery stores, wine stores, farmers markets, etc.), make a list of where you’ll need to go to buy each item so you can condense those errands and avoid multiple trips. Get in — and out — early to avoid the Turkey Day crowds.
10. Prep ahead! Take every opportunity to prepare dishes ahead of time. Desserts and salads can often be made and chilled until the actual meal, and casserole dishes (like stuffing) can be prepped in advance and then heated before eating. The more you prepare in advance, the less stressed you’ll be on actualThanksgiving, when you’d probably like to spend more time with loved ones.
11. Chop veggies ahead of time. If nothing else, you can probably prep some of your produce in advance. Chop the vegetables you need for Thanksgiving recipes on Tuesday or Wednesday so you can quickly toss them in when it’s time for Thursday’s final prep.
12. Set the table. You can also be proactive with your table setting! Set out any tablecloths and centerpieces you’ll be using in advance. Assuming you don’t eat at your Thanksgiving table on a daily basis, you can do this days ahead of time… and you can even put out plates and utensils! If your family eats regular meals at your Thanksgiving table, you can still get all of your table setting supplies organized and ready to go a few days before so that the process is faster before the feast. If you have to move tables and chairs to accommodate your guests, try to do that ASAP, as well, so you’re not scrambling for heavy lifting volunteers minutes before it’s time to eat.
13. Add some creative touches. Nothing adds extra coziness to a holiday meal like a DIY centerpiece or place cards. This is a great way to get kiddos involved, too!
14. Recruit help in the kitchen! Just because you’re hosting Thanksgiving in your home doesn’t mean you should have to do all the work. Invite willing guests to come over in the morning to help get things moving in the kitchen and resist the urge to decline their assistance. Cooking can be such a fun group activity! Little ones, especially, will love getting the chance to contribute to such a special meal.
15. Don’t forget to enjoy! Hosting your loved ones for such a meaningful occasion is bound to be at least a little stressful, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Remember to take time to enjoy moments with your friends and family… and to enjoy all the delicious food you made for them!

Cinnamon
How do you sweeten slow cooker cranberry sauce?
We used a combination of naturally sweet apples, orange juice, honey and coconut sugar!
How long does crockpot cranberry sauce last?
Homemade cranberry sauce will last quite a while, so this makes it a great make-ahead part of your holiday feast! We’d recommend using it within 7-10 days after making for optimal freshness, but it could very well last longer. For Thanksgiving it might make sense to make the cranberry sauce a few days ahead of time! You can serve it cold or you can re-heat gently in a pot over low heat.

This Gluten Free Apple Pie has all the markings of the classic version we all know and love: a buttery crust with thinly sliced juicy apples laced with cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s the perfect pie to serve during the holidays or a fun weekend baking project to mark the fall season! It’s made using unrefined sweeteners and uses the BEST gluten-free crust.
Gluten Free Apple Pie
If you must know how to make one pie out there, THIS IS THE ONE. We knew when we were planning our apple recipes for this month that we had to include a Gluten Free Apple Pie because it is such an iconic American dessert, and for good reason! Apple pie is a must-make during the fall season: at least once!
This recipe is definitely staying true to what we believe is a classic apple pie with juicy cinnamon and spice apples encased in a buttery pastry. We turned to our favorite pie dough that uses almond and tapioca flour and butter. If you are dairy free and are looking for a substitute for the butter in the crust, palm shortening or a non-dairy butter can work but it alters the flavor of the crust a bit. We also use tapioca flour in the filling to thicken the pie.
We use a combination of gala and granny smith apples in this pie, but if those aren’t available check out this apple guide to figure out which apples are best for baking.
TIPS to make pie baking easy peasy:
Make the crust 1-2 days ahead of time.
Roll the crust out ahead of time. Place the bottom crust in a tin and cover with plastic. Place the top crust on a parchment lined baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. This ensures it doesn’t dry out. You can do this a day ahead or a few hours ahead of time. It also makes it easier to work with the crust since it’s already cold. If you are choosing to weave a lattice do so on a piece of parchment paper. When ready to place on the top crust of the pie simply invert the lattice from the parchment on to the filled pie.
When peeling and slicing the apples, squeeze apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
When placing the apples inside of the rolled out dough, make sure to pack them in tightly! This reduces the chance that the filling will shrink when baking and leave a gap between the apples and top crust.
Make sure the crust is cold when rolling it out and working with it. If it’s getting too warm and melty, place it back in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Make the whole pie a day ahead of time! You can leave it at room temperature, covered, for 24 hours. Simply place in the oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes to warm up, if desired.
We chose to weave a lattice to top our apple pie, to show it can be done with gluten-free crust, but it is totally not necessary. You can simply place a rolled out crust on top with a few slits for steam to escape, or you could roll out the crust and stamp a few decorative designs or apple cut outs on it. If you do want to do a lattice, it’s easier with this crust if you use bigger strips of pastry. And, I may sound like a broken record here but make sure your pastry is cold while you are working with it! We definitely had to place the pastry back in the refrigerator at least once between the rolling out the pastry and weaving the lattice. So when in doubt, chill the pastry for 10 minutes and you’ll have an easier time.
In a food processor combine almond flour, tapioca flour, salt and cold butter and pulse until the butter is broken down into pea-sized pieces.
Add in eggs and honey and process until the dough comes together.
Shape dough into two round disks, wrap in plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.
To Prepare Crust and Filling:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Remove one dough disk from the refrigerator (leave the other chilling). Between two sheets of parchment, roll out dough to fit the size of a 9 inch pie tin, about a 12 inch circle. Removing one sheet of parchment and invert the pie dough into your tin.
To make the filling: In a large mixing bowl combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, coconut sugar, tapioca, vanilla, salt and spices and toss until combined. Spoon apple mixture inside pastry lined tin and place back in refrigerator while rolling out the top crust. (See note)
Roll out the remaining dough disk to an 11" circle. If you are making a lattice, cut the dough into 8 or 10 strips (depending on your lattice ability!) and weave the lattice on a sheet of parchment.
Remove chilling filled pie from refrigerator and either invert lattice on to the top of the pie, or place the whole rolled pastry on top. Seal the pastry pieces together, and crimp the crust, if desired. If covering the pie make sure to slice in a few holes to let the pie vent. If at any point during the process of making a lattice or placing on the pastry the pie crust gets too warm and is difficult to work with place in the refrigerator on sheet tray until cool enough to handle 10-15 minutes.
To Bake Pie:
Brush crust with egg wash, and coarse sugar, if using and place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until apples are tender and filling is bubbly, about 1 hour. If crust is browning too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
Let cool at least 1 hour before serving, but best to wait at least 4 hours.
Recipe Notes
We use a deep dish 9" pie plate to make our pies and fit about small to medium apples. If you pie pan isn't a deep dish, you may want to use 1-2 less apples.
When placing the apple mixture inside, try to leave as little space as possible between apple slices by moving them around a bit to help them fit as tightly as possible. This makes sure you can pack in as much apple flavor in your pie, and so that your apple filling doesn't sink during baking.
We recommend a mix of apples such as gala and granny smith.
To make an egg wash mix together 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of water until completely combined. An egg wash leaves the pie crust shiny. It can be omitted if desired.
Once baked the pie can remain at room temperature, covered, for about 24 hours. Any longer than this and it should be stored in the refrigerator and briefly warmed up, if desired, before serving.
