How to make the most of your Christmas leftovers

2. Turkey Risotto

Everyone ends up with more turkey than they know what to do with. Using it up can be a long-term process. While many of us settle for the good old turkey sandwich, why not try something hearty and warming instead? Leftover turkey makes a great addition to a traditional risotto. Just add shredded cooker turkey to your risotto shortly before it is ready. Make sure it has warmed up, but otherwise, you won’t need to do much to your turkey. A BergHOFF saucepan makes a great non-stick vessel to cook your risotto.

3. Stir-Fried Sprouts

Christmas has a lot of flavours associated with it – rich cinnamon, hearty root vegetables, juicy roast meats. However, one flavour profile you should consider introducing to your Christmas is umami. Use up leftover Christmas dinner in an Asian stir-fry – carrots, sprouts and chestnuts all work perfectly. Simply use a little Asian flavouring – perhaps soy sauce, sesame oil and a little oyster sauce. Add stir in noodles to your stir fry in your BergHOFF non-stick wok, and you’ll have a wonderfully different Christmas meal in minutes.

5. Leftover Curry

When you’ve been snacking on Christmas leftovers for a few days, you will probably reach the point of maximum cheese. This is where you simply cannot eat another morsel of anything traditionally Christmassy. Fortunately, there is an answer – the leftover curry. Whether you use a jar of curry sauce, or mix your spices yourself, turning leftover turkey and vegetables into a rich, spicy curry is a great way to break the repetition of the days between Christmas and new year.

6. Christmas Pudding Crumble

There is a lot of food on the average Christmas table. That means that by the time you get to pudding, you are likely to be full. As a result, you might end up with a lot of leftover pudding – particularly the Christmas pudding itself. This can be easily rectified, by turning an undesired Christmas pudding into a crumble. Simply blitz your leftover pudding in a food processor, and use it as a crumble over traditional fruit – apples, peaches and raisins are seasonally appropriate. Use a BergHOFF saucepan to bake in the oven; just remove the handle and the pan and lid are both oven safe.

BergHOFF cookware is flexible and multi-use. Many of our pans can be used on the hob or in the oven. With Christmas coming up, now is a perfect time to replace or upgrade your existing pans to BergHOFF’s non-stick models. Make the most of your Christmas leftovers with BergHOFF.
