Anyone have quick easy recipes for leftover turkey?

Question

I cooked a whole 13 lb. turkey and have a lot leftover. I'm looking for ideas besides just reheating it up and eating it dry in a sandwich. Thank you all in advance.

Answer 1

I have one! Dice up two cups of turkey and place in a casserole dish. Add paprika, salt and pepper, onion, and cooked noodles. One can of cream of chicken soup and one can of cream of celery soup. One can milk. Mix and place Monteray Jack shredded cheese on top. Bake until heated through.

Answer 2

Turkey Enchiladas...
Julienne your turkey, fry some chopped onion, red & green bell pepper when they are tender add the turkey and stir fry a few minutes. Then add either a packet of taco spices, or make your own mix with ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and a little chopped coriander..
Spoon some of this mixture into some tender corn tortillas, fold up and place in a baking dish. Cover with a small can of a mexican sauce you prefer, I like the salsa verde, then cover with a container of cooking cream and some grated cheese (if you like). Place in a hot oven a few minutes till the cheese has melted and the cream is heated through. Serve with some refried beans.

Turkey Parmentier.

Make up a package of instant mashed potatoes.
Chop up some of your turkey and fry a few minutes with a chopped clove of garlic, a little parsley, and add a jar of italian tomato sauce (plain tomato or w/ mushrooms is good). Place half of the potatoes in a baking dish, put the turkey mixture over this and cover with the rest of the potatoes. Top with some grated cheese, then place under the grill of your oven (or microwave) until the cheese has melted.

Answer 6

3/4 pound (12 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup minced scallions (white and green parts) Pinch kosher salt Pinch freshly ground black pepper Sandwiches: 1 loaf dense raisin-nut bread, unsliced turkey Fresh basil leaves Directions For the scallion cream cheese, combine the cream cheese, scallions and the salt and pepper in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Do not whip. For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.) Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of scallion cream cheese. Place a single layer of turkey on half the slices, cutting the edges to fit the bread. Place the basil leaves randomly on top of the turkey. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, cream cheese side down. Lay the sandwiches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with damp paper towels and wrap the sheet with plastic. Refrigerate until the cream cheese is cold and firm. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and, with a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts. Cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally, twice, to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.
