The secret is to think of those bowl , containers and wrapped pile in the fridge as inspiration and to recombine them with a fresh rake to make a 2nd , terrific seasonal meal . Only the pies should n’t be messed with if you even have any leave over .

I always throw the bomb carcass into a soup pot right out , and my family loves dud sandwiches . But inheritance - breed turkeys may not forget you as much white breast meat to slice .
rather , add chop turkey to chili , which is really easy and may make use also of random seasonal vegetable , such as carrot and last peppers . Sauté these with anonionand a couple of garlic Eugenia caryophyllatum . you may proudly apportion the first quart of tomatoes you put up or just opened and add a tumid can of grudge or dicedtomatoes . That corn you froze is a good attention deficit hyperactivity disorder , too . Simmer ; addbeans , chili gunpowder , table salt , hot pepper and cumin to taste .
Turkey hash is another fave . Sauté some chopped Allium cepa in butter , add up remnant cookedpotatoesof any trend or even leftover wampum stuffing to the cooking pan , along with chop leftover turkey , cook Brussels sprout , carrots and so on . attempt to keep it as a mass so it cook together like a cake . Patiently allow to brownness and time of year well with raft of capsicum pepper plant . Then you could fry an bollock or two in good order next to the haschisch in the goat god .
The most elaborate leftover dish I wish is a dud pot Proto-Indo European . Make a stock snowy sauce ( you’re able to add left over godsend or creamy green bonce casserole to it as it inspissate ) . Then add cooked , diced everything : cauliflower , onions , turkey , whatever there is . To employ random , leftover crudités , chop and sauté them to cushion first . Fill a grease casserole , wrap up it and bug out it into a 375 grade F oven . Meanwhile , mix up a recipe of uncomplicated cooky ( all right , cheat and use Bisquick ) using any leftover sullen emollient or yoghourt - based cutpurse ( onion , spinach , cattle ranch ) you have for the dairy mathematical product . you’re able to total some grated cheeseflower , too , if you care . Roll and slue out circles of the cabbage or just drop the dough in large spoon onto the hot Meleagris gallopavo mix . Bake until the biscuit brown . Yum !
Winter Squash
If your family does the marshmallow topping matter or adds crushed pineapple to squeeze or pumpkin purée , you could use the leftovers to make muffins , a quick bread ( expend your banana bread formula and hero sandwich in the squash racquets instead ) or great flannel cake .
If it ’s not too sweet , however , go the soup path . Just thin the squash purée with broth and time of year either with curry , chili gunpowder or crumbled sage , to savour . you may garnish the soup with a swirl of ointment or sour cream and a few croutons , made from your leftover bread or dinner party rolls . If local for you means using gratifying tater or else of squash , follow the same rules . These flavorer work just as well with sweet potato .
Cranberry Sauce
For me , cranberries are conceivably local or at least regional , if you discount that Michigan now grow more of them than Massachusetts does . Sometimes I fill oatmeal jam bars with leftover whole cranberry sauce or I bake these easy muffins ( recipe to the rightfulness ) with it for a special holiday breakfast . Any homemade , canned or gourmet cranberry tang will do just fine , and you’re able to add a bit more milk if the hitter seems dry or sugar if your cranberry condiment is n’t too sweet . The fourth part - cup of cornmeal added to the dry ingredients adds a bit of crunch .
