Hooray for Leftovers
Twelve ways to put Thanksgiving leftovers to good use.
Turkey Sandwiches with Shallots, Cranberries, and Blue Cheese
As much as I love the big Thanksgiving meal—the grill billowing smoke and wafting turkey deliciousness into the yard, the parade of pies and tasty sides, the happily stuffed feeling—it’s possible I love the leftovers even more. (Well, on the food front, I mean. Love ‘ya, family!) What do I do with that big platter of turkey crowding the fridge? Here are a few favorites.
• Turkey Sandwiches with Shallots, Cranberries, and Blue Cheese
• Turkey Enchiladas with Sour Cream
And a couple of no-recipe ideas:
• Turkey Cranberry Salad. Toss shredded turkey with cranberry relish, sliced green onions, toasted pecans, blue cheese, bacon, and hearts of romaine. Toss again with a parlsey vinaigrette
• Tortellini in Brodo. Make broth from the carcass as you would make chicken broth. Strain, then boil to concentrate by one-third. Cook store-bought fresh tortellini in a pot of broth with a little chopped fresh rosemary.
