any ideas for leftover chicken or turkey? any chicken salad recipes?

Answer 1

Yeah, for salad. Don't have specific measurement amounts as I just kind of do it by feel and sight. Shred your chicken, add mayonnaise, mustard (regular or dijon), with a little more mayo than mustard. Add diced celery, chopped black olives, some chopped (very small) dill pickle, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper and a little cayenne pepper. Just kind of get a feel for it. Sample it. You might want to add a little more of the above ingredients to make it suit your tastes. I also look for the right amount of colors. Refrigerate for at least an hour, preferably overnight. Enjoy in a sandwich or stuff a tomato with it for a light, quick meal with crackers (Wheatables, 7 grain are good).

Answer 3

Chicken salad is great. Debone chicken and cut it into small bites, Add a little chopped celery and onion, some chopped dill pickle, mayonaisse to your desired consistency, salt and pepper and there you have a great sandwich. There are a ton of things you can put in chicken salad, the previous recipe is just my favorite. Substitute diced apple for the onion and pickle (leave the celery) and you have a yummy crunchy salad. Also, if you like soup, debone the chicken, put it in a pot with some chicken broth, some celery, carrots, onion, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, Add egg noodles or rice and cook until done. You have a hearty chicken soup. Enjoy Finally, if you didn't fry the chicken, if you baked it or roasted it, you can just lay the pieces in a dish or on a pan, brush with a little barbecue sauce, and put in the oven until it's hot. Barbecued chicken. yum. However, if you fried it, the barbecued in the oven won't taste very good.

Answer 5

I always give my left-over turkey or chiken to my dog, and to show hid gratitude... He licks my 'Fluts'!
Or you could try adding it to a spicy Mediterranean stew, Slow cooking the 'med veg' (Peppers, Onions, Garlic, Courgette, and canned/fresh Tomato (add some Sugar, Vinegar or Lemon juice, Salt and Black Pepper) and adding the shredded meat.
Then make a White sauce (Bechamel), by boiling up; a pan of Milk that contains a little Onion, couple of Cloves and a Bay leaf in it. Once boiled... remove from the heat and allow the flavours to infuse.
In another (NON stick) pan... melt some butter and add some flour and stir, till a ball is formed.
Reduce the heat and (through a sieve), slowly pour in your milk... whisking all all the time, till a smooth white sauce is formed.
Return the pan to a low heat and slowly simmer for about 20 mins (Stirring all the time).
Now with the stew and your sauce... You can make a really delicious Lasagne!
"Enjoy"!!!
