Turkey wraps with spicey sauce, mayonaise, chopped chillies ,salad, and sliced onion. It's takes your mind of the fact that it's turkey lol.

we just had a newly invented leftover dish - Crazy Pie -
leftover cooked veg (in our case sprouts with chestnuts chorizo and bacon, roast parsnips, carrots, peas)
chopped up leftover cold meat (in our case 1 cooked pesto chicken thigh, ham, buffalo)
defrosted frozen cream that had gone "grainy"
3 tbs stock
- all of these were mixed together in an ovenproof dish -
then on the top -
3 leftover baked sweet potatoes mixed with leftover cauliflower cheese and horseradish sauce , added a few small bits of stilton rind -
spread this over the top with a fork and baked for 30 mins in oven at 180 - yummmmmmmyyyy :j

We also do a 'Lopie' (Left over Pie) a few days after Christmas.
I spread Left over stuffing on the bottom, cook mushrooms & onions and chop up Left over ham and turkey, mix it all together with some left over cream and pour over stuffing base and pop a pie crust on the top. Mmmmmm!

On boxing day we now have a Yorkshire brunch, stuffing balls and pigs in blankets in batter and a sort of bubble and squeak/Pan Haggerty affair of left over chopped veg & potatoes on the side.

On the days in between the Boxing day brunch and Lopie we have cold cuts and salad, sandwiches etc and I also make a Christmas dinner soup from the dark meat, left over veg not used on boxing day and boiling up the turkey bones for stock. I make a pea and ham soup using the stock from boiling the ham bone and adding onions, split peas and a couple of slices of the ham.
I just can't bear waste, if there's anything left that we can't use then the dogs/birds/chickens get it and finally the compost bin!
Happy New Year one and all. :beer:

My fridge is so full of stuff, its a shame. I'm not abig eater, and got carried away buying too much food. The dogs still doing well with turkey from the freezer, but I have so much unused veg.

Anyone got a recipe for sprout soup?

Now, that looks delicious. It would do me for a meal on its own; I'm not a big meat eater. Thanks.

All turkey and ham used up...just cheese left now - and that's all still in date so not really "left over" at all yet!

Dont like throwing things out in our house so DH will eat pretty much everything in any combination so anything goes.


Just used up a tub of OOD Tomato Salsa Dip mixed with half a tin of tomatoes to make a sauce for our meatball tea. Am also now thinking of doing some type of Carbonnara sauce with the Onion and Garlic one. The last of the Turkey went into a kind of Asian noodle broth and a packet of 'finest' stuffing that got forgotten got made into sausage rolls as the meat content was actually higher than in a pack of sausagemeat!

What fantastic tips, you certainly have loads of ways to use up your stuff. I will try the pie idea although didn't have a lot left over myself!
