Leftover Guilt?

Dealing with the Bounty of Thanksgiving

By Tawra Kellam and Jill Cooper

Pages: 1 2

When making pies on Thanksgiving Day, save the extra dough or make extra to use to make Pasties. Roll out discs of dough in whatever size you want, and fill with meat, vegetables and leftover potatoes.

Don't forget to use your leftover relish dish. Chop and use in salads, soups or casseroles. If you're really sick of the vegetables, chop and freeze to use later.

Use leftover mashed potatoes to thicken soups and stews.

Make potato pancakes: Add one egg and 2 tablespoons flour to 2 cups mashed potatoes. Make into patties and fry in a pan with margarine.
