Creative ways to use leftover Xmas food

We have a Boxing Day pizza. Cooked on the BBQ, with the leftovers used as toppings. Hopefully the rain will hold off here on Friday.
Merry Christmas everyone!

I like finding new ways to use up Xmas food, today we will have cold turkey, ham, jacket spuds, cauliflower cheese. Tomorrow will be turkey pie. I also plan on making in the next couple of days - mini smoked salmon quiches, mincemeat brownie tart, mince pie rocky road, Boxing Day muffins (using Xmas pud).

I am using leftover mincemeat (Sweet) to make mincemeat muffins. Very yummy!

Was sent home yesterday with 'extra' Turkey, unfortunately it' was bone dry yesterday when served and now it's even worse.

So rather than make the typical curry I've chopped it all up into bite size pieces, opened a jar of YS lemon & herb sauce, added some frozen peas and mushrooms and put it all in the slow cooker for a few hours.

I'm thinking it'll end up being similar to chicken supreme and I'll be able to eat it with rice or pasta, mash etc

If you heat turkey up in the gravy it puts some moisture back.

There's no such thing as leftover chocolate.
It doesn't have time to be leftover.

A recent Great Hunt revealed that many of you buy far too much food for Xmas. We want to tap MoneySavers' collective knowledge on the best ways to avoid wasting that food. Do you have any top recipes for combining the typical Christmas lunch ingredients? What other ways do you make sure everything gets used up?

I sometimes make a 'Christmas' Soup if I need to use stuff up (or want an easy almost no cook, no prep meal), it can include the stock/juices from the meat, stuffing, roast potatoes, vegetables and maybe ham from boxing day.
All diced up to the size you fancy (fine or chunky) heat through thoroughly and seasoned to taste (if it needs any). Yummy
