Healthy Makeovers for Your Holiday LeftoversWhat are you going to do with the insane amount of delicious, calorie-bomb holiday leftovers sitting in your fridge? Eat them, of course -- but only after giving each dish one of these easy, healthy upgrades |

Butter, heavy cream and bacon grease can make anything taste heavenly, and corn is no exception. But since this delicious combo also makes creamed corn a veritable fat bomb, with 11 grams of fat and 225 calories in the average serving, it's the most important Thanksgiving leftover to switch up.
Henderiks suggests boiling chicken stock with egg whites, chicken and roasted potatoes before tossing in a scoop or two of the creamed corn. Not only are you diluting the amount of fat in the creamed corn by distributing it throughout the soup, but "anything you turn into soup is instantly healthier, because soup has a lot of water," says Dubost.

There are some great ideas here, but even with ice cream I couldn't eat pumpkin pie. I've always hated it!

Chili sounds great, so does everything else.

Mmmmm.... Leftovers. I think these ideas are super creative. Leftovers dont' really last that long in my house becuase I have so many siblings. BUT my girlfriends and I are going to have a leftover dinner party on Friday; so that should be interesting. I like the idea of Turkey chilli.

Some of these look interesting to try. Should be fun trying them out.

Very creative! I usually make sure my meal is healthy to begin with--very flavorful, perfectly cooked, and vary my temperatures and textures. Buttermilk makes mashed potatoes decadent without the fat. In my wok, I carmelize red onions in olive oil, then stir fry in blanched green beans and red pepper. I use olive oil and cajun spices, then grill my turkey (yes, even in the snow). Cranberry sauce with 100% juice, orange zest, apples, and minimal sugar. Happy Holidays!
