Forget the turkey curry; here are some new leftovers recipes to try

Here are three delicious new recipes to try out during the holidays

As much as we love Christmas dinner, using up those leftovers is sometimes even better. Below are three quick and easy recipes to enjoy on those lazy in-between days during the holidays.

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Overnight Oats

This overnight oat recipe from Marisa Moore is the perfect breakfast to enjoy to keep those delicious Christmas dinner flavours alive for longer.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoon cranberry sauce
  • ¼ cup old fashioned oats
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoon sliced almonds
  • dash cinnamon (optional)

Method:

  • Add 2 tablespoon cranberry sauce to a jar and add the oats and milk. 
  • Top with more cranberry sauce and sliced almonds. Close the jar and refrigerate overnight.
  • Top with more milk in the morning if desired.

Cheeseboard Macaroni and Cheese

Instead of dumping that leftover cheese from your cheeseboard, this delicious Macaroni and Cheese recipe from Elena Silcock is easy to make and serves four.

Ingredients:

  • 350g pasta
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
  • 3 tbsp plain flower
  • 500 ml milk
  • 250g mix of cheeses you have around, with extra hard cheese for the topping

Method:

  • Cook the pasta, drain and set aside
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the garlic and cook for a min until softened, then add the mustard powder and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 min more. 
  • Add the flour and stir to make a paste, cooking for about 1 min, until the mix starts to bubble a little.
  • Take off the heat and gradually pour in the milk, whisking with every addition so the sauce doesn’t go lumpy. 
  • Return to the heat and cook for 5 mins until thickened, then add the cheeses, stir until melted, and fold in the pasta.
  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the pasta into a baking dish, and top with additional cheese, preferably some hard cheese such as cheddar or parmesan, then bake for 25-30 mins, until golden and bubbling.
  • Allow to cool for 10 mins or so then serve.

Leftover Turkey Loaded Nachos

For chilling out, watching Christmas films, these leftover turkey loaded nachos by Samuel Goldsmith are the perfect snack to enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 250g left over roast turkey, shredded
  • 1 1/2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • 1/2 lime, juiced (optional)
  • 170g slightly salted tortilla chips
  • 200g tomato salsa
  • 150g cheddar, grated
  • 4 spring onions, sliced
  • 150g sour cream
  • 50g pickled jalepenos

Method:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Combine the turkey, fajita seasoning and lime juice, if using, then set aside.
  • Arrange half the tortilla chips over a large baking tray in a single, even layer.
  • Spoon over half the turkey mixture, half the salsa, half the cheese and half the spring onions.
  • Top with the remaining tortilla chips, then repeat with the rest of the turkey mixture, salsa, cheese and spring onions.
  •  Bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and everything is warmed through. Spoon over the soured cream and jalapeños before serving.
