After going through your list of what to do with leftovers, its given me a few ideas that frankly, I never thought of. I am always trying to come up with something new to do rather than the same old same old. Here is one tip you gave that never crossed my mind: Chop leftover turkey or roast beef and freeze into one-cup batches to use in soups, stews and casseroles.
