Introduction

Great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers, and based on a recipe by Ina Garten. We actually made her Leek and Artichoke Bread Pudding as the "dressing" for the day of, and it disappeared and everyone wanted more, leading to this Round 2 recipe. It's got enough meat, bread, and veg to be a stand-alone meal, but I prefer a little more vegetables and served with a side salad.

Ingredients

    1 cup cubed leftover whole wheat bread
    1 cup cubed leftover white bread
    1.5 cup diced leftover turkey (dark meat)
    1/2 cup diced leftover cooked cured pork (bacon, ham, etc...)
    1 package (9 oz) artichokes, frozen or canned
    1 Tbsp minced leftover chives (or onion or shallot)
    1 tsp minced fresh tarragon (optional)
    1 large egg
    0.5 cup buttermilk, lowfat
    0.25 cup leftover vegetable (or chicken or beef) stock
    2 oz Emmentaler swiss cheese (or other leftover cheese), grated
    Nutmeg
    Salt

Directions

Heat oven to 350 F.
Lay bread cubes in sheet pans single-layer thick, and bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Mix bread, turkey, 1.25 c pork, artichokes, chives, tarragon and distribute evenly in a deep glass pie pan or similarly-sized oven-safe vessel.
Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, stock, a pinch of nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pour this mix over the bread mixture, top with the Emmentaler, and press lightly to set. Top with the last 1/4 cup pork, and let sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
