You’re probably reading this laying on the couch in a delayed food coma (and the last thing you want to think about is more food) but those Christmas leftovers aren’t going to eat themselves and you really don’t want them to go to waste.
So, if you do have a little (or a lot) of Christmas turkey left over and you’re wondering what to do with it, here are 15 fab food ideas that’ll turn those extras into some delicious meals for days to come.
If you’re after something lighter on the day after Christmas (we’re with you there), be sure to keep on scrolling for an easy, throw-together salad recipe by Sally O’Neil of The Fit Foodie Blog.
Have other leftovers that you don’t know what to do with? Alternatively, you can look at donating your groceries and other non-perishable items to some great food rescue services like The Salvation ArmyFoodbank and OzHarvest who then give to those in need.
