Food Waste Friday: What to do with leftovers?

We are all bound to have  a billion leftovers after thanksgiving and if you are like me you probably were good about keeping the fridge clean to hold those leftovers. But what do we do with all those leftovers when another turkey dinner doesnt sound good at all?

Turkey Lattice Pie
Using your leftovers from Turkey Day layer chopped turkey, green beans, stuffing, cover with gravy, top with strips of crossaint dough (you know from the can). Bake till bubbley! Yum!

Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes!
Mix 1 cup leftover mashed potato per 1 cup pancake batter.Or eyeball it. :) Cook as usual. I suppose you could do this with sweet potato as well. Yum!

Leftover Oatmeal Pancakes!
Mix 1 cup LO oatmeal per 1 cup pancake batter. Or eyeball it! Cook as usual.

Leftover Iced Tea
Pour over your plants.

Soup Veggies
In your freezer keep 2 gallon ziploc baggies. One for veggie scraps to use for making broths, either  veggie or add to your soup bones for flavoring. The second bag use for cooked chopped veggies to use in your soups. :)




*I did throw out one rotten tomato.. ;)
