Thanksgiving Leftovers
This was my Thanksgiving menu:
A beer-and-cheese-pairing plate, butternut squash soup, spinach and bleu cheese salad with cranberry vinaigrette, cornbread muffins, maple-apple glazed turkey breast and ham, cranberry-orange relish, baby bella and shitake mushrooms in wine sauce, red potatoes with shallots and parsley, cornbread-apple-sausage-walnut stuffing, asparagus, malbec, sauvignon blanc, apple pie, and chocolate truffles.
On Friday I made some breakfast of a slice of ham topped with a few pieces of fried asparagus, a fried egg, some shaved cheddar, and the remaining corn muffins. We weren't ready to eat this until after lunch time, because we were all still stuffed from the day before!
Yesterday we all ate great big heaping plates of leftovers, and today I mashed the red potatoes and mixed them with an egg and a bunch of stuffing and made potato cakes for breakfast, but still have several blocks of cheese left over (a port-goat cheese, a jack-stilton striped cheese, and a buttermilk bleu), some salad, a huge amount of cranberry relish, some turkey and ham, some stuffing, a bit of asparagus, and plenty of wine, pie, and chocolate.
I was thinking some variation of turkey tetrazini for dinner later tonight. What in the world can I do with all that cranberry relish? How long will it keep? Anything else I can do with cornbread stuffing? How about leftover ham? I was thinking some kind of stew with the ham, and usually I make soup or stew with an overabundance of leftover things, but I certainly can't toss the stuffing in a pot of soup! I have a box of cornbread stuffing mix. Could I mix the stuffing with the cornbread mix and make another batch of muffins?
Edit: I have used some of the stuffing as the breadcrumb topping on my tetrazzini tonight
