Beth and I went a shot a story on "how to turn your holiday leftovers into gourmet leftovers." Tough assignment, I know.



But, keeping up with the manic chefs while they whisked their ingredients around wasn't the hard part - it was prying ourselves away from the samples. My favorite was a little recipe called "Turkey Cakes" from Larkins.



And, here it is:

TURKEY CAKES
Two pounds of chopped or shredded turkey
1/2 Red Bell Pepper
1 1/2 stalks of celery
2 Tablespoons of Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon of Whole Grain or Regular Mustard
2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
2 Tablespoons of mixed herbs- rosemary, sage, parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Stir until thoroughly incorporated. Gently form Cakes into Patties. Heat oil (olive or vegetable) in sautee pan Add patties and saute about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated throughout. Serve as a sandwich or by itself!
