Thanksgiving leftovers

So you have all this food leftover. What do you do with it?

Eat it as it is, cold. Because it's already great and there's no good reason to change it.

But what if that's not good enough. And you have all this creativity bursting for expression. How do you change the finished things that you have?

By transforming them into something that they're not.

This video is two women clowning around. They eat what somebody else prepared and they do not explain how things are made. Their ideas are not that useful. Except they did think of something unusual, pumpkin pie milkshake. I'm pretty sure they do not use the crust.

1) Pumpkin pie milkshake
2) Turkey pho. This is a Vietnamese noodle soup of broth, noodles, beef or chicken, herbs, chile, spices cinnamon star anise, clove, sesame oil, tofu.
3) Fried stuffing balls. Like hush puppies
4) Turkey and cranberry nachos
5) Double decker sandwich
6) Mystery pot pie

Another video Rachel Ray hosts Emeril Lagasse. He makes a partially roasted sandwich. Sunny Anderson reheats the green beans with turkey and milk. She makes circles from puff pastries and makes pies out of them. Then Rachel shows turkey Benedicts.

The audience claps like trained seals.

So there you go. 

You make soup or salad or nachos or pies and obviously sandwiches. You can make perogies, egg rolls, wontons, or any kind of dumping. 

You can take the stuffing and make a bread pudding. But why would you want to do that when the leftover stuffing is so good just re-heated? With a few eggs you can make them into a soufflé. You can turn the potato into gnocchi. Or turn the meats into calzones. 

You can turn the ingredients into a pizza. 

Brothers Green Eats for the win.

They do breakfast, lunch and dinner and dessert.

They make waffles from pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing cranberry, and few eggs. They make syrup from butter and maple syrup. 

Wow. Now, that's a great idea.

Turkey sliders. Turkey pumpkin pie, gravy, cranberry, green beans, mashed potatoes. They make potato buns. They made a bbq sauce with all the loose ingredients with additions. Heated the turkey bits in it. They're a mess. While the potato bread really is the best kind of of roll. That bread is also best kind of bread for cinnamon rolls. 

Gnocchi was not up to par so they ditched it. Then pizza with sweet potato dough crust. Creamed spinach coating with turkey bits, dotted with cranberries and cheese. 

Apple pie and ice cream mixed together and re-frozen for apple pie cream brulee. 

They're fun to watch because they enjoy each other's company so much. The tall one is the professional chef, I think, while the shorter one keeps cracking him up.
