"Our two favorite ways to use
turkey leftovers are turkey potpie and turkey burritos. For the
turkey pie, I mix canned or a combination of thawed frozen
vegetables with a can of cream soup thinned slightly with milk.
After mixing these together I add seasonings to taste and turkey
scraps or cubes. I put this into a pie pan, top with a crust and
bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.
Turkey burritos are made by cutting sliced turkey into strips (and using any turkey scraps) and putting them into a pan. Add one or two packets of taco seasoning, depending upon the amount of turkey in the pan, put in enough water to dissolve the taco seasoning, but not too much because you don't want it soupy and heating on medium until warmed through. Heat your burritos, then fill with the turkey mixture. This is a very quick dinner that we all enjoy." ~ Elizabeth, Woodbridge, VA "I use leftover turkey or chicken in a casserole that I make with minute rice, cheese, broccoli, chopped onion (or instant chopped onion) and cream of chicken or cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup. I add a little garlic salt and seasonings and a little milk or water. I precook the broccoli and rice, then make a sauce of the cheese, soup and water or milk with seasonings, mix and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. It's a favorite with my granddaughters." ~ Anonymous "Grandma's recipe is the best!! Hot Turkey Sandwiches Equal parts of the following: Turkey (cut in small pieces) Onion (cut in small pieces) Velveeta cheese (cubed) Celery (cut in small pieces) Enough Miracle Whip to make it all wet. Buns Put a big spoonful of the mixture on a bun and then wrap the sandwich in tin foil. We have always been able to get about 25-35 sandwiches out of leftover turkey. Put them in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes (until cheese melts). Yummy!" ~ Tina "All growing up, we ate turkey omelets the morning after Thanksgiving. My dad was the master chef. We would put in tons of cheese, chopped up turkey, sauted mushrooms, onions and green peppers. We'd drizzle gravy over the top of it. Most of my friends growing up thought this sounded crazy, but it's delicious!" ~ Pam "We love to make turkey and noodles! Just like chicken & noodles but with turkey. My family also likes turkey salad sandwiches." ~ Kim in Iowa "I too
buy a larger turkey than we need. My husband will peel at
least 2-3 times extra of potatoes to cook. "My mother always made turkey sandwiches for my father to take to work on the day after Thanksgiving. She always made one or two for my father's friend who was a widower so that he could enjoy a homemade holiday sandwich. What she put on that sandwich made a great taste treat. She would put a little mayonnaise on the bread, then white meat turkey slices, and on top of the slices she would put a layer of stuffing and a couple of slices of cranberry sauce, cut a little on the thin side. I still enjoy making these sandwiches after the big day. Just terrific." ~ Doris "We love to use our leftover turkey and gravy over freshly-made waffles! You can even add frozen mixed veggies to the gravy if your family likes them and make it a complete meal. It has become our Sunday after Thanksgiving tradition for the family. We fire up the waffle irons and have a great time and get the leftover turkey finished off before we are completely sick of it." ~ Anonymous
