How to get inspired by holiday leftovers

There are a few simple rules of thumb to keep things interesting with holiday leftovers.

First, make sure you store everything properly. One trick, make sure you can see the leftovers you want to use fastest first. If you put them in the back of the fridge that is where you will find them next year. You know the drill… When you are cleaning the fridge to prepare for the holidays.

Next, try planning a few recipes ahead of time. This is when hopefully I can be by your side. Giving you some heartfelt options. Some tasty suggestions. A tip that makes you hungry just thinking about it.

Finally, keep things separate. It helps keep everything fresher in the long run.

What are some creative leftover suggestions?

So many leftovers. So many ways you can turn them into great meals that never get boring.

Bake a pie, or pot a soup. Stack a sandwich or pocket in turnover. A casserole is easy, but a frittata or strata is even easier.

How to store Thanksgiving leftovers

As much energy goes into planning meal, it just makes sense to plan the post game meal plan. Storing the leftovers. For the health of the planet, please try and use reusable containers. Clear and sealable lids are best.

Take the meat off the turkey. You can spare the legs and wings, but just clean off the rest of the bird and store it. You should just go ahead and put the carcass into a large stock pot. Add water and some of the leftover veggies. Boil and get ready for a delicious soup soon enough thereafter.

Freeze anything you don’t expect to use within four or five days tops.

This burger is just a pile of Thanksgiving Leftovers! So Good!
