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 Thanksgivingβs main draw, letβs start with two recipes to reinvent the whole idea of leftovers:
Day After Thanksgiving Turkey Croquettes
This recipe fromΒ Florida Dairy FarmersΒ has βday after Thanksgivingβ 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, andΒ Dairy MAXΒ surrounds a tasty ground turkey mixture with a crispy, cheesy breadcrumb outside thatβs 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 doesnβt take much more than leftover dressing and an amazingly short amount of time to make something new and exciting, thanks to this recipe fromΒ California Milk Advisory Board.
Midwest DairyΒ deftly guides you through taking your leftover entrΓ©e 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,Β California Milk Advisory BoardΒ 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,Β ADA MideastΒ will help you turn it into a decadent treat you can enjoy with other adults.
Next year, these dishes may become the main course! Weβd love to see how youβre cooking up your Thanksgiving leftovers in a dairy-licious way β whether youβre 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!
