Holidays mean one thing. Leftovers. Yes, those pesky holiday leftovers. You don't want to throw them away. On top of that, repeating the same meal over and over again really ruins the eating experience. So, we need creative recipes for these leftovers that will give our taste buds variety. Well, the people at eatingwell.com has some creative recipes we can use to make those leftovers come to life.
Crispy Turkey Tostadas
Shredded leftover turkey tops homemade tostadas in this Tex-Mex favorite. Making your own tostada shells from fresh corn tortillas is easier than you might think—crisp them up in the oven while you prepare the toppings. Choose either regular petite diced tomatoes or those with added jalapeños, depending on your inclination for spicy food. Serve with black beans, rice and extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.

Chicken & White Bean Salad
Zucchini and celery give this chicken-and-bean salad a nice crunch. We like serving it over a bed of slightly bitter escarole and radicchio, but any type of salad greens will work. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.

Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soup
This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread.

Shredded Turkey & Pinto Bean Burrito
We created this with leftover turkey in mind. Leftover or rotisserie chicken can also be used. Make it a Meal: Serve with guacamole and chopped jalapeno peppers and/or hot sauce - and a cold crevasse.

These recipes are great to use for leftovers or just stand alone recipes. Also, the turkey can be replaced with chicken. If you would like to contact us with any questions or feedback, you can reach us by email.
