I WILL >>> >> Reporter: YOU LOADED DOWN WITH LEFTOVERS ON THANKSGIVING. WILL , A LOT OF THAT FOOD GOES TO WASTE WITHOUT PEOPLE THERE TO EAT IT. MONICA LALIBERTE HAS MORE ON HOW NOT TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE AT CHRISTMAS. >> Reporter: WHETHER YOU ARE GOING FOR A TRADITIONAL SPREAD OR NOT FOR CHRISTMAS, KEEP IT SIMPLE AND SIZE IT RIGHT, WITH A HIGH FRYER. >> A 4-POUND TURKEY BREAST OR HAM CAN FIT. >> Reporter: PUT AN OIL AND SEASONED TURKEY BREAST INTO PRE- HEATED AIR FRYERS FOR 25 MINUTES. MAKE SURE IT IS 165 DEGREES BEFORE YOU DIG IN. IT CAN ALSO HELP WITH SIDES. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO BROWN DRESSING IN THE DRAWER. >> ROASTED VEGGIE IN THE AIR FRYER TURN OUT REALLY NICELY. PAT THEM DRY, TOSS THEM WITH A LITTLE OLIVE OIL AND SHAKE THE BASKET EVERY TEN MINUTES OR SO TO INSURE EVEN COOKING. >> Reporter: DON'T FORGET DESSERT. HOW ABOUT PUMPKIN PIE PUDDING OR AN APPLE CRISP, ALL IN THE AIR FRYER. KEEP AIR FRYERS IN MIND WHEN WE FINALLY GET BACK TO LARGE GATHERINGS AND YOUR OVEN IS ON OVERLOAD, AND WHEN YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR AN AIR FRYER, DON'T JUST SHOP BY PRICE. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BASKET SIZE TO MAKE SURE IT IS LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR FAMILY. MONICA LALIBERTE, WRAL NEWS, "5
