Leftover Thanksgiving Dinner Ideas

By -
We always used to laugh the day after Thanksgiving -
the fridge looked like an aluminum mine with all the tented tin foil over everything.

These recipes are from the Tupperware world -- fun ways to "re-invent" the leftovers from your Thanksgiving Dinner so it seems like a brand new meal to feed your family.
Enjoy!

Left Over Turkey
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup fat free or low fat sour cream
1-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 turkey cutlets
Mix bread crumbs and cheese in a shallow dish. Spread both sides of turkey with sour cream and press into the bread crumb mixture to coat. Heat the oil carefully in a skillet over medium heat. Place turkey in the skillet and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
~if you are having trouble getting the breading to stick add a little more sour cream or a tablespoon of mayo~

Left Over Sweet Potatoes Latkes
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cloves
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
Place sweet potatoes in a colander. Place a cloth over the potatoes, and squeeze the potatoes to release as much liquid as possible. Let the potatoes sit to release more liquid, then squeeze again. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, eggs, brown sugar, flour, cloves and cinnamon; mix well. Heat oil in large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Form mixture into pancake size cakes, and fry in hot oil. Flip cakes after 2 to 3 minutes (when bottom is browned) and brown other side. Drain on paper towels, and serve piping hot.

Left Over Cranberry Sauce
1 can of cranberry sauce (whole or jellied)
1 cup white sugar
1 (6 ounce) package red gelatin mix
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 cup orange juice
1 apple with peel, grated
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup whipping cream(optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
Process cranberries in blender or food processor; pour sugar over cranberries and stir to dissolve.
Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil; stir in gelatin and let cool. Stir cooled gelatin into cranberries, and add pineapple, orange juice, apple and pecans. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. Whip cream cheese (add whipping cream ~optional). In a glass serving dish, layer half of the cranberry mixture, then the whipped cream mixture, then the remaining cranberry mixture.

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift.
