BatmansWife Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I could really use some ideas on what to do with leftover turkey. I can think of soup and turkey enchiladas...but that's all I got right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Turkey Divan - turkey, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, etc. Mix with either cream of something soup (or 1/2 mayo-1/2 sour cream), a teaspoon or so of curry powder, couple squirts of lemon juice. Top with cheddar cheese and bake at 350* for 30-40 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Leftover turkey :001_huh: What's that? :confused::confused: Several teenage boys eating we don't have any of that left. Really there isn't much of anything left :lol: Sorry I wasn't any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Turkey tetrazini. My family loves it, so I make a couple of batches for the freezer, and that way we don't get too tired of turkey that week. And I have a few dinners for later in December when things get crazy.

gardenmom5 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) turkey pot pie - I put it in a large casserole and make biscut dough instead of a top pie crust turkey divan (or as my kids would say - turkey divine) Leftover turkey :001_huh: What's that? :confused::confused: Several teenage boys eating we don't have any of that left. Really there isn't much of anything left :lol: Sorry I wasn't any help. hint - two turkey's. (and they can each have a drumstick. ;-p) we started doing two turkeys so we'd have leftovers to do stuff with.

KatieJ Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 since there are just two of us here..sometimes I have way too many leftovers after a big meal with my kiddoes. A friend showed me this many years ago. Take a big casserole or glass cake pan and just put all your leftovers in there in their own little pile. Potatoes, veggies, corn casserole, stuffing, turkey, etc. Then pour leftover gravy over it all and freeze it. Some day when you need it, pull it out and bake the whole thing and you have dinner! Otherwise, Tettrazini is my first choice. Turkey sandwiches can be hot with gravy over them. Turkey hash with potatoes and onions in a skillet. Turkey Lasagna with a white sauce instead of red..throw in some spinach. Nummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Turkey gumbo is very good. (Of course almost ANY gumbo with a proper roux is delicious!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohdanigirl Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Rolled tacos, turkey enchiladas, turkey salad sandwiches, turkey machaca, turkey sloppy joes, turkey tamales. I am sure there is more, but I can't think of them at the moment. I always make a larger turkey to have left overs. I also use the carcass for soup. Now the ham is an other story. dh and the boys are ham fanatics. I have bought huge hams in the past, and I am not really allowed to use the left overs. They prefer to pick and choose how they each will eat their ham. They will usually ask for ham and eggs on Friday, though. All I get for sure is the bone for beans.

Doran5 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) We fry turkeys. So I take the carcasses and make a stock with carrots, bell peppers, celery and onions. Strain and remove all bones. Add back the veggies. Then I break up the turkey no one touched(usually all the dark meat) and make Cajun turkey noodle soup!

lynn Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Mother always made turkey soup and we ate it for a couple days after Thanksgiving it was so good. I love a good turkey sandwich on a good bread with gravy and cranberry sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I turned over two pages in my Julia Child book by accident and ended up making moussaka with left over turkey. It worked really well. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MominIN Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've use turkey in place of chicken many times ... so anything you make with chicken (soup, pot pies, casseroles) you can use turkey. I also freeze leftovers and use them in recipes in the future. That way you don't have to eat so much turkey in one week, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
