This e-single compiles stories, tips and recipes from the New York Times archives about how to work with holiday leftovers.

Cooking personalities like Jacques Pepin and Nigella Lawson give their takes on reviving everything from salad greens to cold turkey, while the Minimalist's Mark Bittman provides endless options for turning your holiday starches, proteins, and veggies into entirely new dishes.
