What to Do With Holiday Meal Leftovers (From Live Show Episode 12)

[@omanita7289]

Hello Heidi, hello world😊love dehydrating. My grandchildren love fruit, i dehydrate my garden herbs, calendula, egg, veggie for the soups, my saus for pasta( tomato,union,garlic, eggplant and more) my sourdough starter for back-up. I gone try some meat and my homemade greek yoghurt next weekend. In the Netherland we do waterbath canning, i'm learning. It's what you told already Heidi, dehydrated food saves space. A jar tomato slices whit herbs on it taste verry good and is a healty snack. Thankyou for shearing and bless you all 🕊

[@dayamitrasaraswati6276]

Dehydrated strawberries are nice too.

[@trishthehomesteader9873]

Thank you Heidi and community. Great ideas! 👍 Blessings! 💜

[@marthathompson2012]

Looking forward to seeing the ideas of using leftovers!

I took my half of turkey,cooked and grinded down and stuck it in my dehydrator,and powdered 1 tray,and the other 5 trays I put the meat on. Came out great. I'm doing almond unsweetened milk now and will powder it. Im done buying dried milk at store,to expensive. I freeze a bunch of mashed avocados,put into individual glass containers. It comes out great. Freezer and dehydrator are my go toos. I also make the powdered leafy greens, and I love that plus make my own loose teas. Thank you Heidi for helping all of us the viewer,to save money,and time.

Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤

I cooked a 17lb packer brisket for a large Christmas family gathering this year... it took 24 hours and was absolutely delicious! A cheap side was whole sweet onions that I cored and sliced half way with and apple slicer/corer... baked them in muffin tins with butter and steak seasoning. They turned out so well and everyone loved them. Total cost was about $12 for 18 people. And that whole packer brisket was less than $5/lb versus $15/lb for a tenderloin. Thanks for all your lovely videos, Heidi! ❤

[@blessedbloominghomestead9134]

One of my nephews commented that we should do a smoked brisket. 😊 I’m all for brisket!

[@marthathompson2012]

A lot of people have brisket here, too

[@marthathompson2012]

In the Italian community, wedding soup is an expected holiday staple, are is fried greens and lasagna. Prime rib is also often more common than turkey. Definitely ravioli-and fresh, homemade pasta is definitely a must.

[@dayamitrasaraswati6276]

I love how you tell us how we can dehydrate in a dehydrator rather than a freeze drier. Nothing against freeze driers (before anyone gets upset), but I cannot afford one anyhow. We dehydrated chicken broth a little while ago for the first time - and pleased with the results. I've done cheese too. Milk would be great and I'd like to experiment with that (especially with the no fart things they want to inject cows with now. Because I have an over-sensitive immune system I need to be so careful I don't have a bad reaction). I have a goat farm near me and can get goat milk cheap, so dehydrating milk could be a good idea.

We plan on making sliders with ham and leftover dinner rolls.

[@marthathompson2012]

Sandwiches, wraps, soups, stir fry, casseroles, and over/in pasta or rice are among my favorite ways to revamp leftovers. Creamed meat over biscuits is also a favorite for my family. I also make a skillet medley that could be called a stir fry, I guess…but not oriental at all or over rice or noodles. We just put together whatever we think might go and create one thing out of 2-5. Depends widely on what you have. Too tick to be a soup or a stew, but just as variable. My mom raised us on what she called “stuff”-basically a stovetop casserole using some kind of rice or noodles, a small amount of ground or chopped meat, and whatever variety of canned veggies she had at the time. I don’t always feel the need to include pasta, rice or noodles-but she always did. It stretched the resources.

[@cherylpantell5871]

I just got a dehydrator. So I'm excited for all these ideas! Spinach, broth!

[@TM-ev2tc]

I like to eat leftovers until they are gone. LOL P S. I made Colcannon this year for Christmas.

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

What's colcannon?

[@TM-ev2tc]

Colcannon is cabbage, mashed potatoes, and other vegetables. Some people put meat in it. I put ham in mine. It is an old Irish dish.

[@edieboudreau9637]

Always good to have options.

[@debsblessed]

I made lasagne one year instead of turkey and it was a hit! ❤ Happy Hanukkah!

[@tammyhill954]

[@blessedbloominghomestead9134]

Our youngest daughter and 2 grandchildren got in about 4 am this morning from Ohio! What a blessing for us! ❤ This week my meals will revolve around them and getting to spoil them. I was just thinking (based on Trina’s chow mein) why not egg rolls? Happy Hanukkah!!

[@RainCountryHomestead]

I keep meaning to make egg rolls again, I do have a video on making the wraps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKPVXp5-r5ajj9E

[@lindachandler2293]

I did a turduck in 1 year. I loved it. The family ate part of it. I think the oyster stuffing layer, which I loved, was what was the problem.

[@MichaelR58]

Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !

[@kandykane3552]

I like shredding turkey & simmering in bbq ir chili sauce. Leftover homemade cranberry sauce swirled into a batch of no bakes put in a 9x13 pan.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Just 1-2 meals set aside, but ham & turkey will become usual hot dishes & ground meat sandwiches. My brother made bone broth for the 1st time😁

[@swiminclay]

🥰

[@carolhamilton5164]

I cook ham or ham and beef as my husband is allergic to poultry. Ham salad is great with leftovers. Hot beef sandwiches is great also. Pepper steak with the left over beef instead of steak. ❤️🙏

[@lindachandler2293]

I planned pretty good this year. I didn't have to can or dehydrate anything.

[@debbiekrueger5576]

Thank you

[@dorothymyers1324]

Grind cooked turkey for croquettes

I love to swirl my homemade whole berry cranberry sauce into my yogurt! It also makes a delicious jam on my morning toast! We had a ham and scalloped potatoes for Christmas this year, and I'm probably going to chop the meat and add it to my potatoes for a one dish meal. I'm considering dehydrating some of my bone broth. I got a free package of chicken bone broth packets from Thrive Market, and decided to try it the other night, bc I was starting to ache, and feel super drowsy. I kid you not, I drank one mug full at about 7:30 pm, and before I went to bed, I felt better! I knew my homemade turkey bone broth does that, but now I'm excited to have something that handy around the house!

[@art4god870]

Is colcannon a regional dish? I have never heard of it.

[@RainCountryHomestead]

It is a traditional Irish dish and my recipe (using dried goods) can be found in the description)

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Heidi, Do you have a recipe mix somewhere for seasoning your jerky? I want to make some hamburger jerky. I use to years ago make it but I used Watkins jerky seasoning and they don't make it anymore. But I'd rather have something I can make and pick good spices in it. Also a rub for like beef jerky that I want to make at some point. Blessings!

[@sandrad518]

Typical turkey soups and sandwiches for me, boring and predictable but still tasty. Ham for Christmas this year, I'll make a pot of beans after. I'll come back later to see if I can gain inspiration from ideas in comments.

[@KarenSmith-ys3sk]

Ok i know what colcannon is,irish potato mixture,my mom would make that,but she added ham pieces in it too,i dont eat pork or cabbage. Can i use bok choy instead of the cabbage? I should have known what it was, im half irish.lol

[@RainCountryHomestead]

Yep, you sure can. Some people even use kale

[@kristiecox7350]

Wait, you have to haul up water? What??? Lol

Colecanon?

Yes, recipe is linked in description

@@RainCountryHomestead I have never heard this word. Did I spell it right?

[@marthathompson2012]

Having watched your video and a couple other things on this, I’m getting a sense of what this is. We just like various forms of fried cabbage with or without other vegetables (including onion, garlic, carrots and potatoes), by itself or beside or over noodles, pasta, rice or potatoes, with or without a sauce or broth. With or without meat-ground beef or venison, ham, bacon, sausage, chicken, turkey, etc. We just call it all fried cabbage.
