Let’s talk leftovers. With Thanksgiving behind us, chances are there’s some turkey in the fridge and plenty of sandwiches being made. Personally, I think turkey tastes best slathered in all sorts of flavorful spreads. Gravy on the big day, cranberry sauce for breakfast and maybe a curried mustard for snack time dipping. Really, the meat is just a vehicle for flavor packed sauces, spreads and dips. Here are a few of my favorites to add ons for leftovers. Good news is these are great year-round for all sorts of meals!

Snacking on leftovers is the perfect use for that pantry staple!
Making a broth with a turkey or chicken carcass is always a great idea, but what to do with the leftover sides from a big holiday meal? This morning I added leftover mashed potatoes to a ham, cheese and spinach frittata. Delicious! Left over squash is great added to a blended soups and leafy greens can be folded into a quiche or serve as a base for a warm salad.
Long story short, leftovers are always worth revisiting especially with the addition of simple sauces!
