Who wants to eat the same lasagna 5 nights straight? Still, throwing away leftovers just to avoid boredom isn’t the most eco-friendly option. Instead, breathe new life into those old meals.

Experiment by making new dishes with whatever’s still hanging around. Roast turkey easily transforms into next-day turkey sandwiches, chili, or tetrazzini.

Or, freeze leftovers and eat them down the road. Soups and stews can stay on ice for up to 6 months, and leftover meat and poultry can keep them company in the freezer for just as long.
