With the leftovers from the Christmas lunch, I made 3 things from scratch which I had never made before. With the leftover turkey carcass, I made turkey stock. I made a ton of it, most of which I froze for later use. It was so easy to do- I just put the leftover carcass into a stock pot, filled with water, and added carrots, celery, couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
This picture looks pretty gross, but it smelled delicious! I brought it to a boil, then turned the heat down and let it simmer for 3 hours. I strained it with a mesh strainer so all that remained was the stock. Easy!
With the leftover turkey, I made turkey potpie with homemade crust and everything, which turned out to be so good!! I made two, so we ate one and I froze the other one for later use.
Finally, I made cinnamon rolls with my leftover dough from the rolls I had made for Christmas lunch. Let's just say that the house was smelling pretty good after making these!
