How to Revamp Holiday Leftovers

/in /by

After the holidays are over, it never fails that we have leftover food. Personally, I only like to eat the same meal a couple of times before it just gets boring. So, keep reading to find out ways to revamp your leftovers to prevent food waste and enjoy all of your holiday favorites!

  • Get creative with different breakfast omelets and hashes: Cheese, turkey/ham, potatoes, veggies, etc.
  • Make wraps and sandwiches with whatever you have on hand. Try toasting them for something different.
  • Use leftover meat, veggies and whatever you have in your pantry to make soups, stews, or chili.
  • You might have the makings for a Shepherd’s pie or turkey pot pie.
  • Try “Thanksgiving Bowls” using rice, mashed/sweet potatoes or any grain you choose, cubed or shredded meat, cheese, cranberry sauce (or whatever you prefer) beans/green beans, potatoes, leftover veggies or salad. The possibilities are endless here!
  • Start with pizza dough, then add your holiday favorites for pizza with a twist. This can also be fun for kiddos!
  •  Air fry things that typically get soggy to give them back some life and flavor.
  • Use leftovers for stuffed sweet potatoes/ loaded baked potatoes

With a little creativity, holiday favorites can be enjoyed in many ways! We hope your families have a fun, cheerful and blessed Thanksgiving.
