Answer 2

Do you like Mexican food? Have access to a store which sells mole'?

You've probably heard of chicken enchiladas made with mole' sauce. Well, a little trivoid, the traditional recipe is made with shredded, cooked turkey, not chicken. Light meat, dark meat - doesn't matter.

I mix my shredded turkey meat with half the mole; (thinned with water or, better yet, poultry stock) and heat through. Make sure you've got a lot of sauce as you don't want the turkey meat to dry out. Then grease a rectangular glass oven dish, preheat the oven to 200 and make your enchiladas. I prefer corn but some people prefer flour. You will want to fill the tortillas a little more amply than you would fajitas or Peking duck pancakes as you are not going to be picking them up. You fold the tortillas around the turkey mix and arrange in the glass dish. Then pour the rest of the mole' sauce over the top of the enchiladas, and top with grated Monterey Jack cheese. Put a little water in the pan around the enchiladas. They will keep them moist - don't worry about the tortillas, they're hardy things. Bake for about 25 minutes until the enchiladas are browned and cheese is bubbly and toasty. Serve hot with rice and salad.

I love to make Thanksgiving casserole the weekend after Thanksgiving. Basically I take all the leftovers from dinner and layer them in a casserole dish, topping it off with the mashed potatoes. It works best if you start with the green bean caserole, then do the turkey, the gravy, then stuffing, then top with potatoes. Get creative though- I don't do sweet potatoes but I bet if you like them they will be good in there. I make a cheesy corn casserole that is delicious in there too.

You can also completely change the flavors of your leftover turkey- use it in enchiladas or in chilli, make a turkey curry, or put it in any recipe you would use shredded chicken for.
