Here in the United States we just finished celebrating Thanksgiving, and despite to current climate I cooked a full holiday dinner feast in the style of New England: Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, cornbread, roasted Brussels sprouts with crispy pancetta, creamy mashed potato, and cornbread.
There were no leftovers (to use the words of Iceman). Well... there was some leftover turkey meat... but that’s to be expected.
Turkey legs and wings, which nobody seems to like eating, were repurposed into a delectable turkey salad for sandwiches. The remainder will get smothered by mole poblano, from a paste bought at local Mexican market.
The remainder of the buttermilk getting frozen for future biscuit making.
The remainder of the heavy cream... well this year becomes an experiment. Most often I convert to butter but I have a Meyer Lemon tree just brimming with ripe fruit... so a lemon posset will be made.
How about you... how do you repurpose leftover holiday feast food and ingredients?
