Answer 2

I made turkey quiche last night. YUM!
Fill the bottom of a pie crust
(I used frozen because I am still tired after all the holiday baking)
with cheese (Emmental or Gruyère),
turkey,
mushrooms
and I also had left over baked yams that I used in one
Mix 2 tsp curry (only enough to add flavour not heat) with 4 eggs and 2 cups cream, dash salt and pepper.
Pour egg mix into the filled pie crusts to FILL the crusts up.
Bake for 30-40 min in 400F oven.
The centre should be still a bit loose when you take them out. Let sit for 15 min then serve.
I served them with some cranberry sauce on the side - it is a nice contrast to the curry and turkey.

I have several favorites - first I make turkey broth, then I use it as the base for many other dishes. Here's how I make the broth and 2 dishes that my family likes alot: turkey dumplings, and turkey a la king.

Make turkey soup by cooking the bones in 6 quarts of water along with an onion, stalk of celery, a few cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of parsley. Bring to a boil, skim off the scum that forms on top, and simmer for an hour or longer. Strain the broth into a clean pot, let cool. Refrigerate overnight, then you can easily take off the fat that will have risen to the top and solidified. You now have the basis for delicious turkey soup.

To make turkey dumplings for your soup, get a package of wonton skins - sold in Asian food stores and in many supermarkets. Finely chop a cup of cooked turkey, a stalk of celery, 1/2 onion, and a 1/4 lb mushrooms. Place a rounded teaspoon of this mixture in the center of the wonton skin, moisten the edges and fold into a triangle. Press the edges together well so that the dumplings stay together. Place finished wontons on a piece of waxed paper until you have finished making all your dumplings. To serve, heat 3 cups of your turkey broth to boiling, then turn down to a simmer. Add 15 dumplings and simmer for 5 minutes. Add chopped scallions, thinly sliced carrots, and shredded greens (bok choy or chard) if desired.

To make turkey a la king, chop 1 c. turkey into roughly 3/4 inch cubes. Also chop 1 onion, 2 stalks of celery and thinly slice 2 large carrots. Heat 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 4 quart saucepan. When the butter is melted add the vegetables and cook for 5 minutes at a medium-low head. Add 1/4 c. flour. Mix and heat until the flour is completely mixed into the oil/butter/vegetables. Add 3 c. of turkey broth all at once and stir until the liquid comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring occaisionally for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add the turkey and let cook for about 5 minutes or until the meat is heated. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes. Or you could make a pate a choux and fill it with the turkey a la king, but you'll have to look that up in Joy of Cooking! Have fun! Enjoy!

I make a combination of a pot pie and a shepherds pie. I take a pie crust (pre made like Pillsbury's), put my leftover turkey and gravy, then layer any veggies like peas, carrots, corn; then layer any of the mashed stuff like squash, potatoes, then top wtih my stuffing and bake til heated through and the stuffing is crispy. It's yummy!! I always make sure I ahve a lot of leftovers so I can make that. Of course you can always boil down your turkey bones and make a soup, but that takes a lot of time.

Answer 5

Real easy & very good. Mix a can of cream of musroom soup with 1/2 pt sour cream and diced up turkey. In a pan, saute a box of Stove Top Stuffing with a cube of butter til browned. Put 1/2 the stuffing mix in a casserole then pour in the soup mixture and top with the rest of the stuffing mix. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes until bubbly.

Answer 6

I remember when I was little my dad used to take the turkey, make a gravy, and serve that all together warm over rice, simple, easy, and good. And of course there were always the sandwiches.

Answer 7

You should try dipping the turkey in ranch. It's a great appitizer! Or you could make turkey sandwiches.

Answer 8

I fry potatoes and onions and then add turkey and the gravy. I call it turkey hash, sometimes I throw in corn or other veggies. YUMMY!

Answer 9

i usually make mine into turkey sandwhiches or pot pie. also if you have a lot of left over turkey if you remove it from the bone you can put it into a freezer bag and freeze it for a couple of months and then use it for pot pie.
