With Christmas behind us, there is still something we can do to commemorate the splendid dinner from last night. Reheating is a tradition, and it involves taking the best of what was left from the Christmas dinner to create various dishes, much more homemade, and spend the 25th with family. If you want to innovate with what to do with the leftover food, here’s our top 5: ideas for reheating.

Turkey Reheat Panini


This turkey panini recipe with pesto mayonnaise is great for using up leftover turkey. The flavor of the bird intensifies overnight, and using a delicious crunchy bread creates a delightful combination. You can add sun-dried tomatoes for a hint of sweetness and even a bit of árbol chili sauce if you need a little help with the hangover.

Turkey and Cranberry Sandwich


This recipe is very simple but packs a lot of flavor. All you need is Christmas turkey, cranberry jelly or jam, whether store-bought or homemade from the day before, and arugula.

Drowned Torta


This recipe is ideal if you had pork leg at your Christmas dinner. All you need to do is shred the meat and place it inside a telera or bolillo bread to enjoy. The secret lies in the sauce, so here’s the typical Jalisco recipe. It’s worth mentioning that the spiciness of the sauce is up to you, but it’s always good to have some hot sauce after a couple of Christmas wine glasses.
