Leftover Fun

Leftovers can be boring.That's just a fact and even more so wirh Thanksgiving one. How do you make turkey exciting once more ot add zing to leftover cranberry sauce? By being creative and making that extra food sing. There are many ways to do such.

There's always so much meat left over with any holiday meal. Luckily turkey is versatile and can be turned into everything from curry to sandwiches.An unusual way of having the last is cutting tow slices of stuffing into squares and heating it up with turkey and gravy .It's a take on an open faced sandwich. Another is adding egg noodles to the gravy for another spin.

Sides can be redone for a tastier dish. Cut up those leftover Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with hot pepper for a different kind of hot salad. Mashed white or sweet potatoes can be dipped into beaten egg and breadcrumbs and fried into tasty puffs. Serve the first with ketchup and the second with a tangy maple dip. Leftover mashed potoates can also be used as a cover for a turkey pot pie too, done differently like shepherd's pie. for thsi last also toss in the last peas, carrots and even lima beans.

 Holiday leftovers can be exciting if you just put a different spin on them. Add spice or serve in another way for some fun. You soon; will have an empty refrigerator again.
