Weight Watchers Leftover Ham Recipes

This year Mom insisted on cooking both ham and turkey for Easter dinner. It was wonderful. And now we've got a fridge full of delicious leftover ham.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one looking for easy Weight Watchers Friendly leftover ham recipes about now. I need to use up what remains of the slow cooker spiral ham I cooked up for the holidays.

So, I did a little digging and came up with a great collection of yummy ways to put leftover ham to good use. All are easy to make and include Points information. If you have leftover ham from the holidays, any one of these will be perfect to make. And if you don’t eat pork, substitute turkey ham instead for all of them.

All these leftover ham recipes include calorie and Weight Watchers Points values. Do you have a favorite recipe for leftover ham? I'd love to hear it! Enjoy!
