happypamama Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 So whole turkey breasts were on a huge sale the other day, so I bought one and roasted it. Now I have a big roasted turkey breast and need something to do with it. What paleo/primal friendly ideas do you have? It's probably at least two, maybe three, meals' worth of meat. I'll freeze it in big chunks. We already eat a lot of chicken, so I don't just want to use it in a regular chicken recipe. I'm just not having any good inspirations right now, other than turkey and (not-really-paleo-friendly) gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xixstar Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Shredded BBQ. But otherwise I use it just like chicken. I don't care for turkey so I always have it in something with a heavie sauce or seasonings. But BBQ is one of my favorites or just on top of salads. I freeze what I can't eat in 2-3 meals because I get tired of it (or anything over and over) quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I like using turkey in chili. I'm not paleo so I use beans, too, but still - using both ground turkey and leftover cooked turkey gives a great texture to the chili. i like it in enchiladas too . . . there's got to be some sort of low carb way to do enchiladas?

justLisa Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I would chop it up, and mix with mayo, diced celery and some onion and fresh tarragon, and a little lemon juice. Mmmmm I could go for that, I am hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Use it in a stir-fry-esque type meal. That's what I do with leftover chicken breasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Turkey soup. Onions, celery, parsley, sage, garlic, carrots, mushrooms. Are you allowed to have wild rice on a Paleo diet? If so, you can put that in too. Curried turkey with apples and onions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you can put that in too. Curried turkey with apples and onions. Mmmm, I think soup is going to win. The chunks I froze are just about perfect for soup. Paleo or not, I might just have to do the wild rice, yum! Thanks for the other ideas too, everyone -- I'm sure we'll have more turkey around Thanksgiving, so I can use the other ideas then!
