If you’re a foodie, there’s nothing more fun than cooking for a crowd. The great smells and even greater conversations that fill your home during the holidays can truly be the highpoint of the season. But when the dinner is done and the loved ones have left, what remains are a whole lot of dishes and an abundance of leftovers. AND, if you’re a foodie, the idea of eating leftovers for a week straight might just leave you as cold as that turkey gravy that’s sitting in your fridge.
Not to worry! It only takes a little culinary creativity to turn last night’s leftovers into a super supper.
No matter what you put on your holiday table, this simple technique is going to turn around your turkey, rarify your roast or hop up your ham. The only thing you need to make some magic happen even after the glitter is gone is a package of wonton wrappers.
Step 1
Start with a protein, some starch, some veggies and a sauce.
Get all your goodies laid out and within easy reach. Take a minute to review the rolling directions on the wrapper package. Mentally prepare yourself to fail a couple of times before you create a truly glorious roll.
step 2
Spread a thin layer of sauce (in this case, cranberry) and pile a small amount of your leftovers in the center of your wrap. You’re going to be tempted to over fill it. RESIST that temptation!
