Holiday Leftovers

The idea of holiday leftovers often conjures up images of reheated meals and hot turkey sandwiches. This year, Chef Ryan Scott shows you some great, easy ways to transform those leftovers into completely new meals.

The first place to start is at the grocery store. When you're picking up those last minute ingredients for the holiday feast, take stock of your pantry and ensure you have staple ingredients, such as onions, chicken broth, eggs, and vegetables on-hand. That way, you'll have everything you need on-hand and can incorporate, improvise and have fun. You may actually come up with a "day after" meal that could become a holiday staple.

Leftovers don't have to be just for lunch or dinner. Scott created a simple twist on eggs Benedict using leftover stuffing and a mushroom gravy made with Swanson broth. You can also dice up leftover turkey and vegetables and scramble with eggs for a quick-and-easy frittata.

 

Instead of hot turkey sandwiches, try making Turkey Sloppy Joes -- a twist on a family favorite that's great for kicking back and checking out the weekend's football games.

 

What's better than coming home to the comforting aroma of homemade soup simmering on the stove? For this Asian Turkey Soup, Scott took some leftover turkey, butternut squash and mushrooms and simmered them with Swanson Broth and other ingredients.

 

Here's a great way to use leftover stuffing: freeze it and use it within a couple of weeks by stuffing it in chicken or pork chops. Or serve as a side dish for a weeknight meal -- it's one less thing to think about when heading home from work.
