We asked three local chefs to take the Thanksgiving leftover challenge: create a memorable dish using cooked turkey and other foods you probably have in your refrigerator.
Our “cheftestants” were Ben Durham (Four Food Studio, Melville), Lia Fallon (Amarelle, Wading River) and Scott Bradley (Snaps, Wantagh) and these were the ground rules: Aside from the turkey, the chefs didn't know what the other three ingredients would be until we showed up with a mystery basket. As on “Chopped” and “Iron Chef,“ staples and seasonings from the chef's kitchen were OK to use, but the main focus of the dish had to be the ingredients we supplied. The dish could not require more than 45 minutes to prepare.
