Robert Irvine on seniors, military struggling with food inflation: ‘Absolutely crazy’

‘Restaurant: Impossible’ host Robert Irvine previews his new book ‘Overcoming Impossible’ and discusses the growing stress on seniors and military members caused by rising costs at the grocery store.

The temperature is changing — and so are the recipes many people are already making or planning to make this fall season. 

Celebrity chef Robert Irvine, based in Tampa, Florida, shared a favorite fall recipe with Fox News Digital this holiday season.

His hope is to inspire a new dish using any delicious leftovers from family get-togethers and holiday meals.

"This turkey pot pie recipe gives you something a bit more interesting to do with Thanksgiving leftovers than just picking at them with the refrigerator door open," he said. 

While Irvine said there’s nothing wrong with eating your leftovers in that manner (no judgment here, he said) — the recipe could be a good excuse to get the family excited about eating that leftover turkey again, he said.

"If you’re looking to engage the whole family and get them excited about a second or third consecutive turkey dinner, then transforming those leftovers into a wholly unique dish is certainly the way to go," he said.
