Creative Ideas for Transforming Thanksgiving Leftovers
By Chef Michelle Bernstein

While that savory smell of roasted turkey and pumpkin pie are long gone, the leftovers are usually plentiful. Like any good mom, you’ve prepared enough food for an army. Even after everyone has taken home leftovers, you have enough Thanksgiving food for a few more feasts. What’s for lunch? Turkey. What’s for dinner? Turkey. That may be the case, but it doesn’t have to be boring! Turkey is extremely versatile. Leftover turkey is such a delicious ingredient that can be used as the base for many recipes, especially if you make it like I do; marinated in something delicious like mojo de ajo before cooking. Here are a few other ideas:


· But My Turkey is Dry: Shh! No one has to know. This is very common for even the most experienced chefs since cooking a perfectly roasted turkey can be challenging given the size of the bird and preparation methods. Consider sautéing some sliced red and green bell peppers, onion and garlic in a little Crisco® 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil to make easy turkey fajitas. Sautéing provides you with a good opportunity to add moisture back into the meat. Creating a hearty turkey soup with your leftovers is another way to handle turkey meat that is on the dry side.


· Time and Help on Your Hands: Ask family and friends to pitch in a few days after Thanksgiving to help make turkey empanadas or turkey tamales. Make a simple filling with your favorite cheese like a mixture of salty cotija with Oaxacan cheese that melts beautifully. If you don’t have time to make your own chile, use your favorite store-bought salsa and add chopped chunks of turkey. No one would ever guess these delicious new creations once sat at the Thanksgiving table. Sit together with friends and family to fill and fold delicious empanadas and tamales.


· The New Turkey Sandwich: Instead of the same old turkey with mayo on sliced bread, use your tasty turkey leftovers to create sandwiches that are fun to eat. Shred turkey on crusty French bread and add fig marmalade or better yet, some of the leftover cranberry relish. Add a little zing with a few pickled jalapenos or my favorite: add tetilla or quesillo to top off the sandwich. Forget the bread altogether and chop turkey with creamy manchego béchamel as the filling for croquetas.


· Not Just for Pie: Pumpkin, sweet potatoes and yams are not only for pie. These seasonal vegetables can be mixed with a little chicken broth, spices and a hint of cream for a heart-warming soup. Leftover yams can be mashed with eggs and cream to make a surprising flan.

Ideas Creativas para Transformar las Sobras de
Acción de Gracias
Por Chef Michelle Bernstein



Aunque el sabroso olor a pavo rostizado y a tarta de calabaza ya se hayan ido, por lo general hay muchas sobras. Seguro que, como buena mama, has preparado suficiente comida para un ejército. Incluso después de que todo el mundo se haya llevado sobras a casa, aún tienes suficiente comida para un buen banquete. ¿Qué hay para el almuerzo? Pavo. ¿Qué hay de cenar? Pavo. Ese puede ser el caso, ¡pero no tiene por qué ser aburrido! El pavo es extremadamente versátil. Las sobras del pavo son un ingrediente tan delicioso que se pueden utilizar como base de muchas recetas, especialmente si lo haces como yo, marinado en un delicioso mojo de ajo antes de cocinarlo.


Aquí tienes algunas ideas:

  • ¡Mi pavo está seco!: Shh! Nadie tiene que saberlo. Esto es muy común, incluso para los cocineros con más experiencia, ya que cocinar un pavo perfectamente puede ser un reto, debido al tamaño y a los métodos de preparación de las aves. Puedes saltear pimientos rojos y verdes en rodajas, cebolla y ajo en un poco de aceite Crisco ® 100% Extra Virgen Olive Oil para hacer fácilmente unas fajitas de pavo. Saltear te permitirá restaurar la humedad en la carne. Hacer una fantástica sopa de pavo con las sobras es otra manera de usar la carne que está en el lado seco del pavo.

  • Busca tiempo y ayuda: Pídele a tus familiares y amigos que se reúnan unos días después de Acción de Gracias para que te ayuden a hacer empanadas de pavo o tamales de pavo. Haz un relleno simple con tu queso favorito, como por ejemplo, una mezcla de queso cotija salado y queso Oaxaca que se funden muy bien. Si no tienes tiempo para hacer tu propio Chile, compra la salsa ya hecha de tu tienda preferida y agrégalo a trocitos de pavo. Nadie podrá decir que estas deliciosas nuevas creaciones fueron parte de la mesa de Acción de Gracias. Reúnete con tus amigos y familiares para rellenar y doblar empanadas y tamales deliciosos.

  • Un sándwich de pavo diferente: En lugar de aplicar la vieja receta de pavo con mayonesa en rebanadas de pan, utiliza los restos del sabroso pavo para hacer sándwiches que a todos van a encantar. Desmenuza pavo en pan francés crujiente y añade mermelada de higo o mejor aún, algo de lo que quedó de salsa de arándano. Añade un poco de sabor con jalapeños en escabeche o mi favorito: quesillo para rematar el sándwich. Otra cosa que puedes hacer es cortar el pavo en trocitos y unirlo con cremosa salsa bechamel con queso manchego para hacer unas deliciosas croquetas.

  • No sólo para tarta: La calabaza, la batata y el yam o camote no son sólo para hacer tartas. Estos vegetales de temporada se pueden mezclar con un poco de caldo de pollo, especias y un toque de crema para preparar una sopa reconfortante. Los yams sobrantes se pueden hacer puré y añadirles huevos y crema para lograr un flan sorprendente.
