The holidays bring with them lots of leftovers! Once the festivities are over, we are all often left with wondering what we can do with the remaining food. Below are some ideas to repurpose your holiday leftovers.
1. Create a leftover egg dish. Add shredded turkey or diced ham and veggies to omelets, frittatas, or quiches.
2. Make it melty. Layer leftover meat, cranberry sauce, and a melty cheese onto a crusty bread and press in a panini press. If you do not have a panini press, cook it grilled cheese – style in a frying pan.
3. Casserole it. Combine leftover ham or turkey and vegetables with egg noodles for a yummy turkey tetrazzini.
4. Squash soup. Blend up leftover butternut, acorn, or even sweet potato with chicken stock for a quick and easy soup.
