Leftovers

At JLBCP we all remember the good ol' days of
helping grandma in the kitchen as she prepared
a feast that was always fit for a king
on Thanksgiving Day.

After Thanksgiving celebration here in America, there are always tons of leftovers. We feast on turkey dishes for a week after (at least)! Here's some great leftover ideas you can do with your leftover feast.

• Chop leftover turkey and use in soups and stews.
• How about turkey enchiladas? Chop it up and add some of your favorite Mexican seasonings.
• Turkey sandwiches can become humdrum...so why not add some avocado slices, sprouts, and/or olives to mix it up.
• Sweet potatoes? Mash 'em up and make a casserole...don't forget the yummy little marshmallows.
• Sliced turkey? Make some quick turkey roll-ups. Spread with cream cheese, add a dash of garlic pepper, and green onion. Roll 'em up and enjoy!
• Freeze turkey in individual serving sizes to use in future recipes
• Combine your left over turkey and mashed potatoes to make a base for a turkey casserole.
• Grab a bag of dry Fettuccine Alfredo to whip up, and add your left over turkey, some peas, and onions to make a warm, hearty meal
• Save your leftover cranberry sauce and use it on pancakes or waffles
• Use that leftover dressing to make a tasty filling in baked acorn-squash cups
• Leftover muffins can easily be cut in half and grilled in butter for a breakfast twist
• Too much pudding leftover? Divide into single serving cups, cover, and refrigerate for a great after-school snack.

From all of us at JLB Creatives Publishing, here's wishing you and yours a super weekend!
