Leftovers: More Than Just the Standard Turkey Sandwich
Fresh Ideas from Chef Ryan Scott and Swanson(R) Broth
CAMDEN, N.J. (November 2009) - Though the thought of holiday leftovers can conjure up images of bland hot turkey sandwiches or reheating the main course, it can actually be easy to transform the holiday spread into entirely new, great-tasting meals. Chef Ryan Scott, former cheftestant of Bravo TV's Top Chef, has some tips for helping to make holiday recipes delicious the second time around.
"Leftovers sometimes get a bad rap, but with a little planning and creativity, it's easy to create recipes worthy of becoming new holiday traditions, " said Chef Scott. "Before heading out to pick up those last-minute ingredients for the holiday feast, take stock of the pantry and make sure you have staples like rice, eggs, frozen vegetables, and chicken broth and stock on-hand. If not, pick them up while you're out - that way you won't have to make a special trip to the store later."
Here are a few other tips from Chef Scott:
- Freeze leftover stuffing and use it to make stuffed pork chops, or serve it as a weeknight side dish - it's one less thing to think about when trying to put dinner on the table during the hectic week.
- Leftovers aren't just for dinner! Poached Eggs with Stuffing and Ham is a simple twist on the classic eggs Benedict using leftover stuffing cakes instead of English muffins, sliced ham and a simple mushroom gravy.
- Instead of hot turkey sandwiches, try making Turkey Sloppy Joes, a twist on a family favorite that's perfect for kicking back and checking out the weekend's football games. They also make great sliders if you have leftover dinner rolls from last night's
- And finally, since there's nothing better than coming home to the comforting aroma of homemade soup simmering on the stove, try combining leftover meat, vegetables and rice with 100% Natural Swanson(R). Chicken broth to create a hearty soup, such as my Asian Turkey Soup.
