Sandra made a huge dinner last night for Thanksgiving, and she's stuck with a ton of leftovers. So she came up with a clever semi-homemade way to use them! This way there's no wasting food, and it's super cheap. Sandra will show how to transform leftover food into a mouth-watering meal. First up, inventive Green Bean Stuffed Portobellos made with items from yesterdays feast. Then there's Potato Blini with Caviar, which transforms everyday leftovers into a sophisticated meal. Next, Turkey Hash with Country Gravy, which cleverly combines three delicious Thanksgiving menu favorites. Next, a few fall side dishes are sweetened up in a Sweet Potato Cake with Coconut Frosting. Then it's cocktail time with a sparkling Burgundy Bubbler.
My first Thanksgiving in the United States was when I was 11-years-old. It was a Lebanese-inspired spread complete with hummus, tabbouleh, grape leaves and hashweh — an Arabic stuffing made with ground beef and onions served alone or inside the turkey.
Feeding a smaller crowd? Squeeze all your holiday favorites onto a couple of sheet pans and spend less time cleaning up. Happy Thanksgiving from our Food Network Kitchen.
