1. With leftover turkey
The turkey is the star of many holiday feasts. But even if you have a number of guests over, there are always pieces of this imposing bird left over. Simply break it up into chunks or shred it and refrigerate or freeze it for later use in a sandwich, shawarma, pasta dish or salad.

2. With leftover mashed potatoes
Of course, you can always reheat leftover mashed potatoes to enjoy as a side for another meal, but you can also turn them into a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich (you’ll never go back after tasting it!) or aligot, a mixture of mashed potatoes and cheese.

3. With leftover meatball stew
Yes, even our classic meatball stew adapts well to other dishes, such as a filling for tacos or cannelloni. Amazing, and no less delicious!
4. With brunch leftovers
Got a bit carried away for Christmas brunch by buying a large quantity of croissants at the bakery? Make a loaf with croissants and cheese that you can enjoy every morning until the end of the holidays. And with the leftover ham, try mini quiches, sandwiches and even a macaroni salad for lunch or to bring to the last potluck of the year.

5. With leftover shrimp cocktail
The accompanying cocktail sauce may be finished, but there are many recipes you can make with leftover shrimp. Given they’re unseasoned, they can easily be cooked into burritos for a meal the whole family will love. And once cooked, they can be added to a cold broccoli and beet salad.
