Have you got leftovers after a big roast or holiday dinner? Don't let them go to waste! From leftover turkey, chicken, ham, roasted vegetables or potatoes, leftover beef, pork, goose and more, these leftover recipes will help you turn yesterday's dinner into delicious new meals you whole family will enjoy.
Turkey leftovers are probably the most common ones, purely because of the size of the turkey roast, which leads, inevitably, to quite a lot leftover turkey. But, how about other leftovers?
Vegetables, beef, mashed potatoes, chicken, ham, you name it. And we are not talking only about Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter dinners, but also a big meal at various times of the year, or a rather large Sunday roast.
These are my favourite leftover meals that are absolutely amazing, they transform those rather sad-looking leftovers into spectacular brand-new dishes that will impress even those picky eaters. Let's have a look at them!

Leftover turkey recipes
I'll start my leftover recipes list with turkey, purely because it's the favourite meat at this time of the year. Whether you had a huge roast turkey or just a Roast Turkey Crown or Turkey Drumsticks, here are some recipes that you can try. Leftover turkey can easily be swapped for leftover chicken and vice versa.
Leftover chicken recipes
If you don't have a large family or too many guests for Thanksgiving or Christmas, then a whole roasted chicken should do. Now, I have quite a lot leftover chicken recipes on the blog, as chicken is by far my favourite meat and I cook with it on a weekly basis. Again, you can use leftover turkey for any of these recipes, the texture or cooking time won't change.
Leftover beef recipes
I absolutely love a good old roast beef, and any leftovers can be transformed into delicious dishes for the whole family.

These are my favourite recipes that use leftover ham, do try them!

If you enjoyed a Christmas roast just like people would have done it in the days gone by with a big juicy roast goose, what a treat that was!
