Once the Thanksgiving turkey and all the accouterments have been devoured, and everyone is enjoying their postprandial nap, please rush into the kitchen and save all the leftovers.
Did you know that there are tons of dishes that have to be made with leftovers? Bread and butter pudding needs day-old bread. Shepherd’s pie is made using already-cooked lamb, arancini are made with yesterday’s saffron risotto, and bone broth is simmered from otherwise discarded bones and vegetable scraps. Even chicken pot pie has to be made with precooked meat.
