Wine with Leftovers

by Andrea Immer



Turkey sandwich on a dinner roll with dressing and cranberry sauce

A red Zinfandel with its spicy, peppery quality enhances this popular leftover.

spicy Turkey chili

The fruit flavor and spiciness of a bold, red shiraz (Syrah) pair well with this dish's fiery undertones.

Ham and cheese macaroni

The lemon/lime tartness of a Pinot Grigio cuts through the rich cheese and makes a comfortable companion to this American classic.

Turkey potpie with carrots and onions

The light fruitiness and good acidity of Beaujolais mingle well with the pie's creamy sauce and light flaky pastry.

Grilled ham and Swiss cheese sandwich

Slightly fruity and softer on the palate than a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot marries well with this popular duo.

Red beans and rice with a ham hock

A Chianti has enough body, fruit flavor and acidity to give this bold flavored dish added pizzazz.

Turkey quesadillas with spicy jack cheese

Chardonnay with its full, round fruity flavor melds well with this cheese and Turkey combo.
