Hey you guys,

Does anyone else ever find that they have lots of leftover, turkey, ham, potatoes etc after Christmas & are unsure what to do with them?

Well here is a list of some of the things I do with my leftovers that might give you some inspiration.

  1. Turkey curry:  fry up your turkey with some mushrooms, peppers, onions & garlic, throw on a curry sauce & serve with rice or chips.
  2. Ham & Turkey Pie: cook up some of your favourite veg (or leftover Christmas Veg) add with your ham & turkey to a pie dish, pour over your favourite sauce I love mushroom sauce (recipe to follow) & top with mash (leftover or fresh).
  3. Ham & Turkey Macaroni: cook pasta, add to a pie dish with your leftover ham & turkey add Cheese Sauce Recipe, top with bread crumbs and cook in the oven until golden.
  4. Ham & Turkey Gratin: add your leftover ham & turkey to my Potato Gratin Recipe.
  5. Ham & Turkey Soup: Add ham, turkey or leftover veg to either of my soup recipes such as Broccoli Soup (Baby friendly)and Carrot & Parsnip Soup (baby friendly).
  6. Christmas Sandwich or Wrap: Add ham, turkey or leftover (stuffing) to a wrap or bread to make a yummy snack.
  7. Leftover Bake: layer ham, turkey & stuffing into tinfoil cover in gravy & bake in the oven.
