Oh those leftovers!
November 23, 2007
Face it, it looks like the remains of turkey day will be on the menu for a while. Might as well make the best of it.
What to do with extra turkey Use shredded turkey on salads, sandwiches, quesadillas and wraps. Turkey can even be used as a pizza topping with a barbecue sauce.
What to do with extra cranberries Make these awesome cranberry oatmeal cookies.
What to do with a leftover veggie tray Cut up the veggies and embellish a chef salad. Dip celery sticks in peanut butter for a quick snack. Steam broccoli and cauliflower. Top with a cheese sauce.
What to do with extra mashed potatoes Make potato patties. Ingredients: 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 egg, beaten 1 onion, minced 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. white pepper 2—3 tablespoons olive oil
Mix mashed potatoes, egg and onion. Add salt and pepper. Over medium heat, heat olive oil in a medium nonstick frying pan. Drop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the frying pan. Pat it into a 4 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cook until bottom is brown and crisp (about 4 minutes) Carefully flip the patty and cook that side until brown and crisp. Repeat until all batter is used. Serve with ketchup or salsa.
Safety Tips Remember the 2-2-4 rule: Do not leave food out any longer than 2 hours. Refrigerate food in shallow containers, about 2 inches tall. Eat leftovers within 4 days.
