Leftover Thanksgiving Patties

Several years ago, I saw a recipe on Rachel Ray that used up various items from Thankgiving. I have made these patties every year since seeing her make the recipe. I have made changes and adapt it to whatever leftovers that are still in the fridge a few days after Thankgiving. It also makes the turkey a bit more exciting. I have also made up fresh potatoes (or used instant) if I don't have any leftover.
