  • 1/4 cup leftover cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons water

    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • If you don’t have any leftover turkey, you can substitute for chicken breasts. Here’s quick and easy instructions. Pan fry a few chicken breasts over high heat in an oven safe pan, about 3 minutes in each side. Next place the entire pan into a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 5-7 minutes depending on the thickness of the breasts. Remove the pan from the oven and let rest for another 10 minutes. This will help reabsorb all the juices and give you a perfectly cooked breast every time.
  • Take care to use up leftovers within a few days. After that the chances of food poisoning increase.
