Hot Cross Loaf Recipe

Made with the same spices and plump fruit as the traditional buns, this hot cross loaf is delicious eaten warm from the oven, or toasted and spread with butter. Makes about 10 servings.

Based on a traditional ‘Spanish Omelette’ recipe, this hearty frittata is perfect for Boxing Day Brunch. Serve it warm from the pan, or keep it in the fridge for late-rising nibblers to help themselves! Serves 4.

Turkey And Mushroom Puffs

Use shop-bought puff pastry to whip up these little pastry parcels in no time. If you don’t have mushrooms to hand, you could substitute the same weight of leftover cooked veg instead (carrots, peas, shredded cabbage or sprouts – just omit the mushroom-cooking step and add the veg to the sauce at the same time as the turkey). Serves 4.

Turkey & Ham Pie Recipe

Beneath its all-butter pastry ‘lid’, this pie hides a deeply savoury meat filling, flavoured with fresh herbs and rich with double cream and white wine – who says you can’t have a little luxury with your leftovers?! Serve 4-6.

Moussaka Recipe

Based on a classic Greek dish, this delicious recipe is so much more than just a good way to use up leftover lamb. Wonderful Mediterranean flavours mingle with the rich lamb, and (because it’s all topped off with crème fraîche and cheddar instead of a flour-based white sauce) it’s a little lighter than normal moussaka, too. Serves 4.

Leftover Salmon Recipe - Salmon Scramble

Make the most of any leftover cooked salmon with this easy dish – served with buttered granary toast or bagels, it makes a brilliant breakfast, brunch or light lunch. Serves 2.

Leftover Lamb Ragu with Fettucine Recipe

This rich, slightly spicy sauce is a great way to make a satisfying family meal from leftover roast lamb – best of all, it can be ready and on the table in about half an hour. Serves 4.

Lamb Salad with Feta

Heavy roasts and indulgent desserts (not to mention all that chocolate!) can leave you wishing for a lighter meal. Fresh-tasting and full of flavour, this easy salad is a great way to enjoy left-over roast lamb and takes just minutes to put together. Serves 2 generously.

Hot Cross Bread & Butter Pudding

In the unlikely event that we have any leftover Hot Cross Buns this Easter, we’ll use them to make this lovely version of Bread and Butter Pudding – it’s perfect with a generous sploosh of double cream on the side, or a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. Serves 4-8, depending on appetite!

Hot-Cross French Toast

We remain sceptical about the concept of ‘leftover’ hot cross buns, but – should you find yourself in this situation – we can’t think of a nicer way to finish them off! Serves 4.

Scrumpy Lamb Stew Recipe

This hearty stew will keep out the cold, with a warming kick from our Proper Scrumpy Cider! We like it served with steamed greens and a big pile of fluffy mash, plus a dollop of our Easy Apple Sauce. Serves 4-6.

Greendale Beef & Horseradish Bites

If you have cooked a beef joint recently, use any leftovers to create these tasty little morsels. Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

Boxing Day Bubble And Squeak

This is a great way to use up leftover turkey, roast potatoes and cooked sprouts or cabbage - it’s also quick and simple, because you deserve a well-earned break after cooking Christmas dinner! Serves 4.

Cheesy Veg Traybake Recipe

Give leftover Christmas-dinner veg a new lease of life in this tasty and flexible recipe. It’s a great way to use up cooked veg, odds and ends from the cheeseboard and even sauces or chutneys – best of all, it really doesn’t taste like ‘leftovers’! Serves 2-4.

Ultimate Turkey Sandwich Recipe

Not just any old snack, these sandwiches might take a few minutes’ work to put together but they’re definitely worth the (minimal) effort! A sort of super-BLT, with added turkey and avocado, we think this is one of the nicest ways to repurpose the remains of your roast. Makes 2 rounds of sandwiches.

Shredded Sprouts Recipe

Packed with tasty Italian-inspired flavours, this wonderful winter salad is a great way to use up any uncooked brussels sprouts still lurking in the fridge. Serves 4.
