The holiday season means huge, delicious meals and a fridge full of leftovers. The question often becomes, 'how can I turn day two, day three or even day four of the leftovers into something new?' Damaris Phillips, winner of the 9th season of "Next Food Network Star" and Host of "Southern at Heart" joined us to share a few simple tips for transforming your holiday leftovers. Phillips says her trick for using leftovers starts at the grocery store. She emphasizes the importance of pairing pantry staples like milk, egg, cheese, and crackers, with the leftovers. One example she showcases is turning brisket into dip. She whips it up and serves it with a pretzel cracker for a super easy appetizer. Phillips is a big fan of turkey when it comes to leftovers. The food gives a lot of flexibility when transforming into a second meal, she says. Her favorite way to use it is to make a turkey taco casserole.
