Boxing Day recipes

It’s not Boxing Day unless you make multiple trips to the buffet table to pile your plate high with Christmas ham, coleslaw, quiche and leftover potatoes.

Queen of the ingredients has to be the leftover, and we’ve got loads of ideas to use leftovers up from turkey curry (what else) and a really easy spiced turkey rice. Pigs in blankets get a new lease of life in this French onion sausage casserole.  A robust red cabbage coleslaw brings crunch and colour to the table.

Take a look at our Christmas leftover recipes and gammon recipes, plus our zero-waste Christmas feature which even includes a recipe for leftover bread sauce.
