Crump: Say No To T-Day Leftovers

It’s likely to the point of moral certainty that someone you know will try in the next few days to foist turkey tetrazzini upon your good self — made, of course, with the remnants of last week’s main course. Resist. Tetrazzini, you see, is American — not Italian — fare containing fowl or seafood in a white sauce served over spaghetti. Invented by Ernest Arbogast, chef at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, the dish is named after Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini. La Tetrazzini, a soprano who was as wide as she was tall, wouldn’t touch the stuff. She had, you see, standards. “I’m old, I’m fat, but I’m still Tetrazzini,” she would say. So this week, have a hot dog for lunch instead. And mind that it’s not a turkey frank/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.

Question: What is the most creative use of Thanksgiving leftovers that you've eaten?
