Thanksgiving Leftovers

There’s not enough Tupperware in the world…

 

Happy Monday, Glutards!  And it’s “Cyber Monday” at that.  So if you didn’t go out and get trampled at midnight on Thursday, today is your day to get stuck with endless check-out screens and scream obscenities at your computer.  Happy hunting!
 

So now that the in-laws have retreated to the 7th circle of Hell until Christmas, what are  you going to do with all of those leftovers?  Sure, you can just reheat plate after plate of the same old thing, but why not jazz it up a little?  Here are just a few fun things you can do with all of your holiday kitchen spoils.

 

1. The Classic Thanksgiving Sandwich – It’s so simple Helen Keller could do it.  Just pile stuffing (GF), turkey, cranberry sauce, and mayo on your favorite gluten free bread and presto!  You have a very carb heavy sandwich that puts the best of the holidays in your mouth at the same time.



2. Potato Pancakes -  Not sure what to do with that vat of mashed potatoes drunk Aunt Susan left behind?  Why not mix them with some egg, chopped onion, and any other flavors you may desire, and pan fry them into these crispy delights.  Serve them with breakfast just before you tell the cousins they have overstayed their welcome. *note: if you follow the recipe attached to this link, substitute panko with gf bread crumbs.*



3. Chopped Turkey Salad – Thanksgiving foods can be so heavy.  Why not take that turkey and add it as the protein to your favorite salad?  Quick. Easy. No cooking or grease fires involved.



4. Turkey Pot Pie – This is a great idea and so simple to make.  Dice up some leftover turkey and take your favorite veggies and mix them together.  Got gravy?  Throw that in too and pour the entire mixture into a baking dish.  If you have leftover gluten free dough from your pumpkin pies (which I did), thaw it out and use that for your flaky pot pie pastry.  Marie Callender’s doesn’t have anything on you, girl.

 

5. Finally, Fried Stuffing Balls – I thought about doing this while at home for the holidays.  Thank God Sunny Anderson thought of it too and shows us how.  Just make sure you are using gluten free flour when you bread your gluten free stuffing.

Cook. Experiment. Eat. Have Fun!
