Written on December 21st, 2021
Are you looking for new and exciting ways to use up your Christmas dinner leftovers? We have plenty of tasty recipe ideas for you, from leftover turkey to what to do with your leftover Christmas pudding! Take a look at our leftovers recipes below.
It’s important when making dishes with any leftovers to ensure you’re doing so as safely as possible. If you are going to store leftover roast, cool it as quickly as possible (ideally within 90 minutes) cover it and place into the fridge. Always use your leftovers within two days of storage. Ensure you cook this recipe until it’s steaming hot throughout and importantly, never reheat leftovers more than once.
