A lot of my American readers have refrigerators bulging with turkey leftovers this morning, and in just a short month my British and Canadian readers will be in the same position.
Some of you will be scratching your heads and trying to come up with new and interesting things to do with them. One thing I have never had a problem with and that is using up leftovers!
My mother always called me the Queen of Leftovers. But really I learned everything that I know from her. She always made the most of everything she was given.
Every time we had a roast dinner of any kind we would be looking forward to the leftovers most of all. Well almost most of all I guess. We still really enjoyed the roast dinner!
This Turkey, Broccoli & Stuffing Casserole is one of my favorite things to do with my leftovers. It uses up some of the meat, gravy and some of the stuffing.
This delicious recipe is sized for two to three people.
If you have leftover vegetables, you can use that in place of the broccoli, or you can simply reheat them and serve them on the side. Today that was brussels sprouts and carrots.
If you don't have any leftover gravy you can use a can of condensed cream of chicken soup, or make a gravy from scratch using my recipe here, which doesn't require the use of drippings.
You can leave out the sour cream altogether and just use the equivalent in gravy, which is what I did today. You can also use a can of gravy if you have it.

We've all been there. Perhaps you have just cooked a huge holiday meal and are facing a refrigerator filled with leftover bits and pieces. It doesn't even need to be a post holiday refrigerator.
We all come face to face with leftovers from time to time and can feel a bit frustrated in how to reuse them in a delicious way that our families will enjoy.
We may even have family that refuse to eat leftovers. My father is like that. He says he doesn't like leftovers and won't eat them if he knows that is what they are.
Happily I am known as the Queen of Leftovers. There is no leftover I cannot turn into something which may even be more delicious than the initial meal! Seriously!
In a world where many go hungry and food waste is a huge problem, this is a skill we each need to learn to develop. I like to think that with my handy tips and ideas that can be a problem no more for you as well! Leftovers can be delicious too!
With a little bit of inspiration and not a lot of work we can all be good stewards of what we have been given as far as food goes. If you would like to be inspired to do better when it comes to using up your leftover or excess food read on! (If you are interested in some tasty recipes, scroll down)
Whenever you are faced with loads of extras, don't throw them out. Package them into some tightly closed containers, label and then either place them into your refrigerator or the freezer.
This goes for eating in restaurants as well. Always ask for a doggie bag, don't be ashamed to ask. You paid for it. Its yours.
Turn them into tomorrow's lunch. (or even breakfast) Leftover meats and cheeses can easily be incorporated into a salad or a sandwich. I love eating leftover pizza or pasta for breakfast.
Be inventive with your leftovers. Leftover meat or chicken stews make the most delicious pot pies. All you need to do is to reheat them and top with a pastry or some biscuits and bake in the oven. I can guarantee ain't nobody going to be turning them down!
For leftover meat, why not chop it fine or grind it up and use it just like you would use ground beef. I have done this many, many times and it is always enjoyed. In a lasagna or casserole, as a cottage pie, or even for hot sandwiches such as sloppy joes.
Leftover chicken or turkey is never a problem. Chicken is such a versatile protein, if you are like me you will never have a problem using it up. It works wonderfully in salads and casseroles.
Added to gravy it makes an excellent hot sandwich. Its even great on pizza.
We love it in tacos and enchiladas. Every time I cooked a turkey my family was drooling at the thought of the enchiladas I was going to make with the leftovers while they were still eating the holiday dinner!
Leftover fish? That is also not a problem. I often will mince it up, mix it with a cream sauce, or some mayonnaise and grated cheese, perhaps a bit of chopped onion or pickle. Spread onto biscuit dough (like a scone dough), roll it up slice and bake. This is excellent served with a cream or cheese sauce to spoon over. Or even as a side to a bowl of soup.
Leftover vegetables might be a bit more problematic, but if you put your thinking cap on there is no end to what you can do with them.
Potatoes are very easy to deal with. Who does not love fried potatoes, or hash. Just cube your leftover baked or boiled potatoes and fry them in a bit of butter with some onion. Perfect to enjoy with your breakfast eggs, or as a tasty side with dinner.
Leftover mashed potatoes? No problem. Add a bit of finely minced onion and maybe some meat or cheese, shape into patties or rolls, coat in egg and bread crumbs and fry in butter. If you shape and chill them really well, they cook a lot easier and won't fall apart.
Even if they do I can guarantee nobody is going to turn their nose up at golden brown buttery bits of fried potato, mashed or otherwise!
Bubble and squeak is the ultimate leftover vegetable dish! Its just a fancy name for vegetable hash. Just chop everything up, mix it together and then melt some butter in a skillet. Add the vegetables and cook, mashing everything down so that it covers the base of your skillet. Let brown and then carefully flip over to brown the other side. Delicious cut into wedges and served with a poached or fried egg on top!
Cooked ham is wonderful finely minced and then made into Deviled Ham. You can find my recipe for that here. I can promise you that it is incredibly delicious.
Its fabulous served on toasted baguettes or as a sandwich filler. Leftovers made delicious!
I also like to use leftover ham in casseroles. Its excellent stirred into scalloped potatoes or macaroni and cheese. We also enjoy it sliced and fried for breakfast with eggs. Finely chopped and baked in a Quiche it also shines.
Here are a few more ways to help to make your leftovers shine and starve the garbage can! My mother didn't call me the Queen of Leftovers for nothing!

It doesn't get much better than this. Properly fried eggs accompanied with thick slices of ham fried in butter and toast soldiers. For breakfast or dinner, it always goes down a real treat!
A delicious soup with smoked ham, buttery soft cabbage, vegetables and a flavour-filled broth. The cheese dumplings on top tip it over the edge to heavenly.
Chicken And Ham Pie
This lush pie makes great use of cooked chicken (turkey) and ham. In a beautiful lard/butter pastry, that is in three layers rather than two. (Yes there is an extra layer of pastry in the middle dividing the chicken from the ham.) This always goes down a real treat and nobody minds that they are eating leftover at all!
Slow Cooker Potato & Ham Chowder
This is a hearty soup with beautiful flavours. You get the creaminess from the cream. Saltyness from the ham. Herbiness from the use of thyme and rosemary, and then lets not forget the garlic and the onion. Both are not only flavourful but very aromatic as well.
Broccoli & Potato Casserole
Ham, Leek & Potato Gratin
A tasty gratin that makes great use of leftover baked ham, boiled ham, or cooked ham hocks.. Its delicious! You can also use leftover potato in this, or cook potato specifically. Delicious any way you decide.

Simple. Easy. Delicious. Economical. If you like Salmon and you like Broccoli and you are wanting delicious supper dish that goes together quick as a wink . . . this dish is for you! You can use tinned salmon or leftover cooked salmon, flaked. Fabulous any way. Pesto adds a special touch.
Broccoli & Potato Casserole
This delicious bake makes great use of leftover baked potatoes. In fact if I am going to bake some potatoes for supper, I always throw a few extra into the oven just so that I can make this tasty casserole the day after!
It never hurts to have already cooked potatoes on tap!
As you can see, leftover food need never be boring or lackluster. There is always a delicious way to present it so that everyone enjoys the leftovers just as much as they did the original meals!
I have pages and pages of leftovers on this blog. What I have shared today is only the tip of the iceberg. If you are wanting even more inspiration just put the ingredient you are looking for into the search option at the top of the page and see what comes up. I guarantee you will discover something delicious, or I'll eat my hat, and I am betting I could even make that taste scrumptious!!
Sometimes even I need additional inspiration on how to use up my leftovers. One site which I have found very helpful for that is Gumbo. You just pop your ingredients into the search window and it finds recipes that you can easily use them in. I love it! Reducing your food waste has never been easier.
With Father's Day just around the corner, Dr Oetker has come up with some really lovely chocolate bakes to please Dad on his special day!

3 medium eggs, beaten
2 sachets (2 tsp) Dr. Oetker Bicarbonate of Soda
5ml (1tsp) Dr. Oetker Natural Vanilla Extract
To Decorate:200g (7oz) Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ Dark Chocolate

200g (7oz) Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ Milk Chocolate
450ml (3/4 pt) double cream, at room temperature(scant 2 cups)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Grease and line 3 x 20cm (8 inch) Victoria sandwich tins
2. Break the Dark Chocolate into pieces and place in a large heatproof bowl. Put the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and leave to melt. Remove the bowl from the pan of water and leave aside for 10 minutes to cool
3. Meanwhile, put all the other ingredients, except the decoration ingredients, in a large bowl and mix well together until well combined. Beat in the melted chocolate
4. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and smooth the tops. Put the tins on baking trays and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tins and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
5. To decorate, break the Dark and Milk Chocolate into a large heatproof bowl and melt as above. Remove the bowl from the pan of water and leave to cool for about 20 minutes until slightly warm
6. Whilst whisking the chocolate, gradually pour in the cream, whisking until thick and glossy.
Sandwich the 3 sponges together using 2/3 of the chocolate cream and place on a serving plate. Spread the remaining cream on top and leave in a cool place for several minutes to firm before serving. For a firm finish, chill the cake for 30 minutes before serving
Note: Once chilled, the chocolate cream will set firm. Prolonged chilling of this cake will dry out the texture of the cake. If the room temperature is warm when you are assembling the cake, you may find it easier to chill each layer of iced cake for a few minutes before you stack it.
Dark Chocolate Layer Cake

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Dr. Oetker Cake Release Spray
150g Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ 72% Extra Dark Chocolate

50g (2oz) unsalted butter (1/4 cup)
150g Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ 72% Extra Dark Chocolate
165g (5 ½ oz) plain flour (1 1/4 cup)
175g (6 oz) soft dark brown sugar, free of lumps (14 TBS)
2 sachets (2 tsp) Dr. Oetker Bicarbonate of Soda
75g (3oz) unsalted butter, softened (1/3 cup)
2 medium eggs, beaten

For the filling:
200g (7oz) Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ 72% Extra Dark Chocolate
350ml (12fl.oz) double cream, at room temperature
To decorate:
100g (3 ½ oz) Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ 72% Extra Dark Chocolate
50g (2oz) unsalted butter (1/4 cup)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Lightly spray 2 x deep 18cm (7 inch) Victoria sandwich tins with Cake Release Spray.
2. Break the Extra Dark Chocolate into pieces and place in a large heatproof bowl. Put the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and leave to melt. Remove from the water.
3. Meanwhile, put the flour, sugar and Bicarbonate of Soda in a large bowl. Mix together and make a well in the centre.
4. When the Chocolate has melted, scrape into the well and add the butter, eggs and beer. Carefully mix everything together then whisk for a few seconds until thoroughly blended.
5. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and smooth the tops. Put the tins on baking trays and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until risen and firm to the touch. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tins and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Carefully slice through the middle of each sponge to create 4 equal cake slices.
6. For the filling, break up the Extra Dark Chocolate into a large heatproof bowl and melt as above. Remove from the water and leave to cool for about 10 minutes until warm but not hot.
7. Whilst whisking the Chocolate, gradually pour in the cream, whisking until thickly whipped and glossy.
Use the filling to sandwich the 4 sponges together and place on a wire rack over a board.
8. To decorate, break the Extra Dark Chocolate into a small, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the butter and pour in 20ml (4 tsp) water. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until melted together and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside for about 20 minutes to cool to a thick, coating consistency.
9. When the Chocolate starts to thicken, spoon the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip over the edges. Use a small bladed palette knife to smooth over any gaps and leave to stand in a cool place for several minutes to allow the Chocolate to set.
10. Carefully, slide 2 palette knives or cake slices, one on each side of the cake, to loosen and then lift the cake on to a serving plate.
Note: For a firm finish, chill the cake for 30 minutes before serving. However, once chilled, the Chocolate cream filling will set firm and the ganache with become firm and less glossy. Prolonged chilling of this cake will dry out the texture. If the room temperature is warm when you are assembling the cake, you may find it easier to chill each layer of iced cake for a few minutes before you stack it.
Coconut Chocolate Bars
Preparation time: 30 minutes plus cooling and setting
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Makes: 14
Ingredients:
For the base:
100g (3 ½ oz) lightly salted butter, softened (7 TBS)
50g (2oz) caster sugar (4 1/2 TBS)
115g (4oz) plain flour (3/4 cup plus 1 TBS)
15g (1/2oz) cocoa powder (2 1/2 TBS)
For the topping:
2 sachets Dr. Oetker Egg White Powder
100g (3 ½ oz) caster sugar (9 TBS)
150g (5oz) unsweetened desiccated coconut (2 cups)
1 tsp Dr. Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Extract with Seeds
150g Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks’ Milk Chocolate (scant cup)
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Grease and line a 20cm (8 inch) square cake tin with baking parchment.
2. Put the butter in a bowl and whisk in the sugar until pale and creamy. Sift the flour and cocoa on top and mix well to make a short, crumbly dough.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the tin to cover the base, using the back of spoon. Prick all over with a fork and bake for 15 minutes then set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 140°C (120°C Fan, Gas Mark 1).
4. Make up the Egg White Powder as directed on the pack, and whisk until stiff. Gradually whisk in the sugar to make a glossy meringue. Gently fold in the coconut and Vanilla Extract.
5. Pile the coconut meringue on top of the chocolate base and smooth the top. Bake for about 25 minutes until lightly golden and crusty on top. Leave to cool in the tin.
6. Break the Milk Chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Put the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and leave to melt. Remove from the water.
7. Scrape the melted Chocolate out of the bowl using a spatula on to the coconut. Spread the Chocolate to the edge of the tin and tap the tin gently on the work surface to smooth the Chocolate. Leave to cool.
8. Just before the Chocolate sets hard, gently score the top using a knife to make 14 bars – this will make the slices easier to cut up when completely cold.
9. To serve, carefully cut right through the scored Chocolate and lift out the slices to serve.
TIP:
For a richer Chocolate flavour, use Dr. Oetker Dark or 72% Extra Dark Fine Cooks’ Chocolate on top instead of the Milk variety.

- To decorate, turn the cakes out of the tins and place on a wire rack over a board or plate. Break the Extra Dark Chocolate into a small, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the butter and 15ml (1 tbsp) water. Heat very gently, stirring occasionally, until melted together and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside for a few minutes until the mixture is of a thick, coating consistency
