Seven Recipes For Your Thanksgiving & Christmas Leftovers

One of the best things about December is that it’s called the festive season for good reason: with so much feasting and drinking to be done, those festive roast banquets and trimmings aren’t just for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day (though not for a lack of trying). Take the feasting beyond your holiday dinner parties with this list of delicious recipes that elevate those glorious leftovers into decadent meals over the next couple of days.

Roast Vegetables Frittata

This one-pan Roast Vegetables Frittata recipe is ridiculously easy to make, and equally delicious. Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, pumpkin — experiment with different leftover roast vegetables that you have on hand, throw in some beaten eggs and you’re all set.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast Burrito

Here’s a Leftovers Breakfast Burrito from Chrissy Teigan that’s got our approval and has all the works: stuffing, roast chicken (or your favourite roast of choice), roast vegetables and even cranberry sauce, tucked into a tortilla and toasted for a hearty start to the day. Make it Mexican and enjoy alongside one of our Loco Hot Sauces for a delicious twist on a brunch must-have.

Thanksgiving Stuffing Waffles

 If you love a good crispy waffle, you’re going to love Smitten Kitchen’s one-step recipe behind these savoury Thanksgiving Stuffing Waffles, the perfect day-after Thanksgiving (or every other day, for that matter) breakfast. Simply press your leftover stuffing into a hot waffle iron, and let it do the rest. Top with a crispy fried egg, if that’s your kind of vibe.

Listen to this podcast on NPR to hear how Smitten Kitchen recreated it. If you’ve got some mashed potatoes on hand too, try your hand at these Crispy Mashed Potatoes and Stuffing Fritters.

Christmas Roast Pot Pie

 This Christmas Roast Pot Pie offers classic dinner comfort all year around, especially on those stormy nights. Looking for an even more fuss-free quick dinner? Skip the handmade pastry for a frozen puff pastry sheet from the store: just remember to cut a cross in the middle of the pastry so that it crisps up wonderfully in the oven.
