Harvest Bowls & Leftovers:
A Post-Thanksgiving Revival with Balsamic Flair

The big feast is over, the stretchy pants are on—and your fridge is bursting at the seams. But before you microwave another plate of beige, let’s talk leftover glow-ups. With a few pours of Bodacious balsamic vinegars and a drizzle of infused olive oil, those day-after meals can feel just as exciting as the main event.

Say goodbye to bland and hello to bold. Here’s how to revive your Thanksgiving extras with gourmet flavor—no waste, all wow.

1. Build the Ultimate Harvest Bowl

Start with a base of wild rice, quinoa, or farro. Add a scoop of leftover roasted turkey, roasted squash or carrots, and even green beans. Then? Drizzle generously with Pomegranate Balsamic for a sweet-tart kick that ties everything together.

Flavor Boost: Add chopped apples, pecans, or goat cheese for texture and balance.

2. Roasted Veggies, Remixed

Leftover Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or root veggies got you yawning? Toss them in Herbs de Provence EVOO and roast them until they get crispy again. The blend of thyme, rosemary, and lavender wakes them right up with French flair.

Serve With: A fried egg on top for a next-day brunch you’ll want on repeat.

3. Fresh Greens + Cranberry Pear Vinaigrette

Got salad mix? Lucky you. Whisk together a simple vinaigrette with Cranberry Pear White Balsamic, Medium EVOO, a touch of Dijon, and a pinch of salt. Pour over arugula, leftover roasted turkey, and any stray bits of stuffing croutons (yes, it works!).

Pro Tip: Add dried cranberries and shaved Parmesan to bring it all together.

4. The Fancy Sandwich Trick

Turkey sandwiches are fine. But a turkey panini brushed with Garlic EVOO and finished with a drizzle of Fig Balsamic? That’s next level. Add brie or sharp cheddar and press until golden and melty.

Optional Extras: Thinly sliced apple or arugula for crunch and brightness.

5. Mashed Potato Cakes with a Kick

Mix your mashed potatoes with a beaten egg and a handful of shredded cheese, then pan-fry in a skillet with Butter EVOO until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of Blackberry Ginger Balsamic for a tangy twist.

Leftovers Worth Celebrating

Post-holiday meals don’t have to feel like afterthoughts. With the right pairings from Bodacious, your leftovers get a new life full of bold flavor, balance, and just a little bit of balsamic magic.

So go ahead—plate it pretty, drizzle something daring, and make those next-day bites bodacious.

Pour it. Drizzle it. Taste the Bodacious difference.
