Make the Most of Thanksgiving Leftovers!
Turkey Day is around the corner and your planning is probably in full gear. Just don’t forget to think about the leftovers!
From ham to cranberry sauce, from white wine to stuffing, our dairy partners in other states have the recipes to keep everyone coming back to the dinner table. Knowing that turkey is often Thanksgiving’s main draw, let’s start with two recipes to reinvent the whole idea of leftovers:
Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Croquettes
This recipe from Florida Dairy Farmers has “day after Thanksgiving” baked right into the name! But going forward, you may want to make these more often than once a year.
Parmesan Crusted Greek Yogurt Meatloaf
Everyone enjoys a good meatloaf, and Dairy MAX surrounds a tasty ground turkey mixture with a crispy, cheesy breadcrumb outside that’s sure to make this a family favorite.
We’ve got our own favorite way to use the rest of that delicious turkey. Our Creamy Leftover Turkey and Quinoa Soup (photo above) is a great option for lunch after hitting the early morning Black Friday sales.
It doesn’t take much more than leftover dressing and an amazingly short amount of time to make something new and exciting, thanks to this recipe from California Milk Advisory Board.
Midwest Dairy deftly guides you through taking your leftover entrée and turning it into a savory Southern comfort food you can make in just a few minutes with only a few ingredients.
With a little time and creativity, California Milk Advisory Board completely reinvents your leftover cranberry sauce by converting it into a dessert your whole family will love.
White Wine Swiss Cheese Fondue
Should you find yourself with a half-empty bottle of white wine, ADA Mideast will help you turn it into a decadent treat you can enjoy with other adults.
Next year, these dishes may become the main course! We’d love to see how you’re cooking up your Thanksgiving leftovers in a dairy-licious way — whether you’re making the recipes above or inventing something of your own, please take a picture and share to social media with the hashtags #MilkMeansMore and #UndeniablyDairy!
