Dinner Redux - Giveaway 3 $100 AMEX Giftcards!


As a Ragu Mom's The Word on Dinner ambassador I was asked about my utilization of leftovers but instead of leftovers I like to call it lunch/dinner redux! In the photo above I used a piece of salmon that I'd cooked the night before in my lunch salad. It was amazing and I enjoyed it. Since my son doesn't really like to eat salmon outright, I made muffins with the remaining salmon, froze them and reheated when my son wanted one. Sneaky way for me to get him to eat protein but no food goes to waste!


I want to hear about your favorite meal "redux" using leftovers. Ragú is sponsoring a giveaway of 3 $100 Amex giftcards just in time for the holidays! Leave a comment with your meal and be entered to win!!!!


Contest open until Friday, November 25th at 10PM EST.

I like to make spaghetti for dinner, and since we always have a ton, I place some of the leftovers under a piece of baked chicken and melted mozzarella for Chicken Parmesan the next day.

When I make roasted chicken, I use the leftovers to make a gluten free pasta salad. Just toss together your favorite gluten free pasts, chopped bell pepper, chopped onion, the chopped up cooked chicken, and some mayo--it is delicious and makes a great lunch or dinner.

Whenever I make spaghetti and turkey meat sauce, I always cook a little more meat than we need. Then the next day, we put the leftover meat in tortilla wraps or on top of nachos with lettuce tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and all the extras. Saves me a lot of work, and everybody loves being able to choose what goes on their burrito or nachos. Win-win!

Being the Maryland girl that I am, crabs are a huge part of the cuisine in most areas. We like to order crabs by the dozen. If there are more left, I like to make crab soup or pick the meat to make a crab cake. Believe me, crabs never go to waste.

I used my leftover turkey (we had relatives come early so had Thanksgiving Sunday) for crustless quiche last night. I sauted onion in butter, added eggs, some half and half, thyme, chopped up turkey and poured it into a tarte pan. Topped it with fresh tomatoes. Hubby added cheese but I ate mine like that. I also made turkey patties the day before.
I also saved the turkey bones in the freezer and that will become a delicious turkey soup. Can't let that go to waste!

Credit to my mom for the best use of leftover turkey I've found. She's from Louisiana and can make some kickass southern dishes. One of my favorites when growing up was her gumbo. Every year after Thanksgiving not only did we get delicious turkey sandwiches, she also set aside leftover turkey to combine with sausage, rice and other goodies to make the best gumbo I've ever eaten!

Oh- all the turkey today! We always make a big pot of turkey and rice soup using the leftover crudite veggies, turkey and any leftover green beans thrown in at the last minute so as not to overcook. Freeze it. With the rest of the turkey- I'll make turkey with pajamas on- our version of chicken parm. Using a pre-made sauce like Ragu makes this a quick meal. Pop some garlic bread in the oven (seconds to make- or buy it pre-made), boil some pasta, and throw together a salad.

We never really have leftovers except for ham or turkey after Thanksgiving. We usually just make sandwhiches with what we have left over. We do sometimes use the hame to make omelets. thank you!

I like to have grilled chicken breasts and rice. When I do, I save the leftover chicken and make chicken tacos the next night! So easy and yummy!

We love crab legs, but no one in my family is crazy about messing with the knuckle, so we eat the crab legs and then later I clean out the knuckles, freeze it and use it in recipes I would normally use canned crab, like crab rangoon which is one of our fav appetizers.

I'll make fajita chicken and freeze some.
Some of it I'll add to leftover veggies or soup.
Then grab a loaf of French bread - use the leftovers for bread pudding!
Use up all of my leftovers.
Thank you.

When we make chili we make a whole big Kettle, the leftover is great over a big mound of buttered rice.

I've already ran the leftover turkey through the food processor and frozen it. I'll make turkey salad with fresh celery, wasabi mayo and boiled eggs. Good times!

I save the turkey carcass from Thanksgiving and the next day boil it with some water. Skim the bones out then add all the leftovers into a soup along with a mirepoix. Cook it down for several hours and its ready by dinner.

One night I make meatloaf.. the next night I cut up leftover meatloaf into 1 inch cubes. I mix with tomato sauce and serve over spaghetti or baked in the oven with rigatoni and cheese. Serve with parmesan cheese and cheesy garlic bread.

Leftovers are not popular in my house. I take the leftover turkey & mashed potatoes, saute with onion, cheese & herbs and make quesadillas for lunch the next day.

Whenever we have a ham , like yesterday for Thanksgiving, I use the leftovers and the bone to flavor a big pot of red beans. It's the best seasoning and makes for a great dinner redux.
Thanks for the giveaway!

We love turkey and it is so healthy.
After we are done with the turkey I
make TURKEY POT PIE:
2 cups of cooked turkey cut or torn into bite size pieces
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can veg-all (drained)
1 package refridgerated pie crusts

Turn oven to 375. Place pie crust in bottom of pie dish. Mix together all the other ingredients and place in pie dish. Cover with the remaining pie crust. Put two slits in the top and bake for about 40 minutes (until pie crust starts to brown)

I use all the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving for either turkey soup or turkey pot pies---my hubby just discovered how to make homemade pot pies so we are looking forward to using the leftover turkey for some turkey pot pies tomorrow!

Whenever we make tacos, I keep some of the meat to make a 7 layer dip the next day. I think that is my favorite part of taco night - the next day!
