Here’s what to do with all those Thanksgiving leftovers:

Turkey
Save-ability: 4.8
Likelihood of excess: 4.3

Storage tips: Tupperware will keep your sliced turkey fresh for sandwiches. Don’t toss the carcass, though. Make stock with it instead. Break it down and put it in a pot of water with onions and any spare aromatics (rosemary, sage, oregano). Bring it to a boil, then simmer for one to two hours.

Secondary uses: Many prefer the open-face sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy, but why not go deli style? Get fresh rolls, good cheddar and smoked bacon. Call it the Thanksgiving Club.

Mashed potatoes
Save-ability: 3.8
Likelihood of excess: 3.2

Storage tips: It’s best to leave it in the vessel it was served in. No need to fuss with transferring the sticky starch to Tupperware. Saran wrap over the top will do the trick.

Secondary uses: If you’re feeling ambitious, you can make turkey pot pie. Buy a premade pie tin and mix any leftovers you have, from potatoes and gravy to peas and corn, then bake at 350 until it’s crispy.

Stuffing
Save-ability: 3.9
Likelihood of excess: 3.3

Storage tips: The key is not how it’s stored, but how it’s reheated. Before you nuke it or warm it up in the oven, add some unsalted butter, turkey stock or a little bit of gravy to keep it moist.

Secondary uses: If you’re making turkey pot pie, it works wonders as pie crust piled on top. Other uses include, but are not limited to, open-face sandwich, dollops pan-fried in olive oil and the old-fashioned cold late-night snack.

Indian farmers’ new cash crop: “Guar has changed my life.”: Guar, a bean, is commonly used (in guar gum form) as an additive to foods such as ice cream, but that’s not what’s driven up its value tenfold in the past year — rather, guar gum is a necessary part of fracking. Really. source
