I don't have any leftovers, but if I did...
Turkey becomes: turkey curry soup. Fry small pieces of turkey in butter with fennel seeds and a little bit of curry. Add milk and peas and let it simmer (not boil!) until everything is warm.
Or mash up some turkey with celery, raisins, mayo and a little lemon juice - turkey salad sandwich!
Mashed potatoes turn into potato dumplings! Or the potatoes could be used for a quick and easy kibbee.
Cherry pie gets mashed up and becomes a yogurt topping.
Stuffing... well... with my family the stuffing never lasts.
Cranberries get mixed with white grape juice, prunes and some Provencal herbs and becomes a base for roast chicken (like coq au vin minus the vin!!)
If I had that green bean casserole stuff, I might try throwing it in a tomato stock with any leftover vegetables, macaroni noodles, beans and herbs and calling it minestrone.
And if your dopey relatives left a bottle of wine... (UH OH!) Buy some candle wax from a craft store, melt and mix the wax and wine, and make wine-scented candles to give to non-alky friends and family as Christmas gifts! (Okay, maybe not a good idea... probably should just let it down the sink.)
I love experimenting with leftovers.
