Leftovers Thread!!

Yep.....not sure how this thread will go over, but I'd like to at least see how everyone repurposes their Thanksgiving leftovers.

There are a million ways to use leftovers.....and at the Circle-H.....we want to see them all!!

*As usual......the recipe would be nice, but straight-up food porn isn't bad either!

*Must have a hot pepper component (that kind of goes without saying!)

I'll go first:

Taking the leftover turkey and corn to make Turkey-Corn Chowder!

Boiled and picked the turkey.....then redeposited the bones and remnants in the stock pot for 4-5 hours with onion and celery. Drained the stock and let it cool.

The players:

6-8C Turkey stock, 1lb. pulled turkey, 12-14oz sweet white corn taken from the cob, 1 small onion (diced), 1lb. bacon, 1-1 1/2C heavy cream, 1 pkg cream cheese (melted), 1 C shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 C sherry, 3-4T ghee (clarified butter), 3-4T flour, jalapeno, and S&P to taste.



BACON!!!!! (diced)



BACON!!!!!!!!



Heat the ghee in your pot.....then add the flour to form a nice blonde roux.



Once your roux looks like this.....add the diced onion and jalapenos. If the roux binds up too much, add a bit more ghee.



Add your turkey stock. bring to a simmer and add your cream cheese. (you may find it easier to just blend the cream cheese and some of the warm stock in a blender....then add to the pot. I used an immersion blender.)



Add your corn. Re-season, and simmer, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes. (it WILL stick to the bottom of the pot if you don't!)



Add your turkey (saving some for garnish) and your heavy cream. Re-season, and just heat the soup through. (No need to boil)



Should look something like this.....



to be continued....

YESSSSSSSSS!  :metal:
 
I have often turned leftover pizza into a sandwich, both open and closed face before, (like i'm convincing myself i'm making leftover pizza healthy or something :lol: )
 
I am imagining the crispness of the sprouts (what kind?)
the sinus blast of the horseradish with each bite! :D
and that pizza looks great, what's on the Za ? 
 
:drooling:
