Using Leftover
Holiday Nuts
If you have leftover nuts
from the holidays, you might
consider turning them into
quick ice cream desserts.
Toast any leftover shelled
pecans by spreading them In
a shallow pan and baking at
900 degrees for 15 to 20
minutes or until they’re
lightly browned. Cool and
chop up the pecans. Make ice
cream balls and roll the balls
in the chopped pecans. Place
ice cream balls on a tray
covered with was paper and
return to freezer until firm.
Just before serving, top balls
with hot fudge sauce.
Or use leftover nuts to
make buttered nut sundaes.
Add a half a cup chopped
pecans or walnuts to two
tablespoons melted butter or
margerine in a firypan. Toast
nuts over low heat for 15 to 20
minutes, stirring as needed
until they’re lightly
browned. Stir in a quarter
cup brown sugar and a
quarter cup water and
simmer for two minutes.
How to Bring That
Left-Over Christmas
Meal Safely Into
The New Year
You have just had a
delicious turkey for
Christmas dinner, cleared
the table, and now you look
at the remainder of the bird
and ask yourself, “What can
I do with it?”
Plenty! If properly cared
for, leftover turkey is as
tasty as the first dices. It
can be refrigerated and used
within a few days or frozen
and then, weeks later, turned
into dozens of tasty dishes
... casseroles, turkey
creole, turkey Brunswick
stew, turkey salad ... the
possibilities are endless.
Experiment! Almost all
recipes calling for cooked
chicken are good with turkey
too.
After your hoilday feast,
make sure the turkey is
refrigerated immediately.
Separate the turkey meat,
stuffing, and gravy and store
them in the refrigerator in
different containers. If you
have a large quantity of a

left-over dish, pul it in
several small contain* rs
rather than one large one o
speed cooling. It is best to
remove the meat from the
turkey bones so it can be well
wrapped to prevent drying
out and loss of flavor.
If kept cold in the
refrigerator, cooked turkey
will maintain its quality for
one or two days. If you don’t
plan to use it immediately,
freeze it. The same goes for
stuffing and gravy.
To freeze your leftover
holiday fare, wrap turkey in
moisture resistant material,
such as aluminum foil or
freezer paper. Cooked
stuffing may be frozen and
kept for 3 to i weeks. Heat
without thawing or thaw in
the refrigerator and use at
once. Turkey can also be
turned into casserole dishes -
such as turkey pot pies - and
frozen. In fact, the keeping
quality of turkey frozen in a
broth is actually better than
when frozen in slices. Sliced
turkey loses quality in the
freezer after 1 month, but
poultry dishes - when the
meat is covered with gravy -
maintain quality up to 6
month?. Dishes such as
homemade pot pies provide
an economical and nutritious
“convenience food” to pull
from the freezer and heat
when you need a dinner in a
hurry.
To save time, take your
frozen casserole from the
freezer and put it directly
into the oven, just as you
would a frozen dish bought at
a grocery store. If you prefer
to thaw it first, the USDA
recommends that you plan
ahead and thaw perishable
foods in the refrigerator, not
at room temperature. For
faster thawing, place in a
water-tight container and
immerse in cool water.
Another safety precaution
is to make sure your freezer
or refrigerator containers
are thoroughly cleaned
between uses. Bacteria can
multiply in food left in the
crevices and lead to food
poisoning. It’s important to
keep everything that touches
meat clean.
