Stuffing recipes plan for leftovers

Family Features

Turkey may be the star of the holiday table, but for many people, the stuffing is what they really can’t wait to eat. This year, satisfy those cravings with some delicious new stuffing recipes that make enough for some equally tasty leftovers.

These “planned-over” recipes from Mrs. Cubbison’s will let the family enjoy their favorite dish all week without ever eating the same dish twice.

Grease a casserole dish and place any turkey pieces in bottom of casserole, covering surface. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking sherry to remaining gravy and heat. Pour dressing over turkey, top with extra stuffing and bake at 350 degrees until stuffing is piping hot and serve.

Cut turkey slices into small pieces, toss with remaining stuffing and spoon into hollowed out tomato halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (optional) and broil until heated through.

Saut onions and garlic in a little oil. Add cooked turkey pieces from the holiday meal and one can of stewed tomatoes. Season with hot sauce or red chili powder to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add shrimp, shell-on mussels or clams and simmer until liquid is almost gone. Serve this Creole-style “planned over” on top of reheated stuffing.
