what can I do with leftover turkey?

Question

not sandwiches, please.

Answer 1

1)Shred turkey up into bite-size pieces.
2)Cook 2 pkgs of Alfredo noodles and sauce by pkg directions
3)add one 16oz pkg of thawed broccoli during last five minutes of cooking
4)Mix in turkey

Takes about 15 minutes from start to finish, tastes great and is made in one pan on stove or one dish in microwave. This is good with shrimp or chicken breast also.

Answer 2

My strategy is to turn leftover turkey into something that tastes very little like plain roast turkey - add a little variety!

Turkey pot pie and turkey tortilla soup are my favorites. Leftover turkey also works great in cannelloni, tetrazzini, enchiladas, soup with white beans and bacon, and on top of a nice green salad. I really liked it as a faux-chicken marsala last Thanksgiving - make a marsala sauce with butter, mushrooms, thyme, and marsala wine and serve with sauteed zucchini and fettucini or orzo. Yummy!

Answer 3

One of my family's favorites is Turkey Divan (known afffectionately to them as "Turkey Sofa").

Make some toast and cut slices in half - put in lightly greased casserole. Amount depends on how many you are feeding. Allow at least two toast halves per person.
Top each toast half with sliced turkey.
Then put two or three stalks of broccoli on top of turkey - can use fresh or frozen broccoli - cook until just tender before adding and drain well.
Top with hollandaise sauce. I make homemade - but a mix is fine.
Bake at 350 about 25 to 30 mins until hot and bubblly.
A spatula will lift each toast piece out neatly.
Mmmmm.

Answer 4

The best thing i've EVER had hands down with leftover turkey was when a friend of mines wife made Turkey Tamales. Ill post the recipe. it is quite a production but well worth it.


TURKEY TAMALES

INGREDIENTS

* Tamale Filling:
* 1 1/4 pounds turkey
* 1 large onion, halved
* 1 clove garlic
* 4 dried California chile pods
* 2 cups water
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
*
* Tamale Dough:
* 2 cups masa harina
* 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2/3 cup lard
* 1 (8 ounce) package dried corn husks
* 1 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS

1. Place turkey into a Dutch oven with onion and garlic, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes
2. Use rubber gloves to remove stems and seeds from the chile pods. Place chiles in a saucepan with 2 cups of water. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then remove from heat to cool. Transfer the chiles and water to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture, stir in salt, and set aside. Shred the turkey and mix in one cup of the chile sauce.
3. Soak the corn husks in a bowl of warm water. In a large bowl, beat the lard with a tablespoon of the broth until fluffy. Combine the masa harina, baking powder and salt; stir into the lard mixture, adding more broth as necessary to form a spongy dough.
4. Spread the dough out over the corn husks to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. Place one tablespoon of the meat filling into the center. Fold the sides of the husks in toward the center and place in a steamer. Steam for 1 hour.
5. Remove tamales from husks and drizzle remaining chile sauce over. Top with sour cream. For a creamy sauce, mix sour cream into the chile sauce.

Answer 5

My mom would always mix it with rice and cheese and vegetables and make a casserole out of it. You can also make turkey noodle soup, or turkey pot pie. Bisquick has a good chicken pot pie recipe on the box that you can just use and substitute with the turkey.

Answer 6

get some chicken broth, carrots, potatoes, parsely, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes shred the turkey and make a soup/stew. this will taste more like chicken soup you can't go wrong. add some sweet peas at the end and if you want to thicken it up add some corn starch mixed with water and add a little at a time til you get it the way you want.....or you can use this mixture thicken it up really well and pour into a pie shell and make like turkey pot pies.....or separate it and have some soup and pies.........but you can make roll ups with fajita bread, turkey and cranberry sauce, stuffing, and a little gravy to make it slightly moist. GOBBLE it up lol......

My mom always ground it up into turkey salad. Chop or grind it up with relish, mayo, etc like if you were making tuna salad. Put it on crackers or whatever. Keeps well.
