Suggestions for left over turky?

Question

please no sandwiches,thanks.

Answer 1

You could make a casserole. My grandmother makes this broccoli, rice, cheese, and chicken casserole. IT is really good all you do is get those ingredients and mix them up with a can or two of cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup. Put it into a oven safe bowl and bake it till it is the way you like it. If you want it set add less soup and bake for 45 minutes till the top is crunchy. Just instead of chicken put turkey. That would use up a lot of it actually and the casserole last a while, especially if you freeze it.

Answer 2

Pot pies. Soup. Make some broth while you're at it. Pick most of the meat off the carcass, then put it (the carcass, not the meat) into a big soup pot. Put in a cut-up onion, some garlic cloves, a couple stalks of celery, some carrot, bay leaves, a bit of salt, some peppercorns, and cover it with water. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for an hour and a half. Drain it into a bowl (through a cheesecloth- or dishtowel-lined strainer) and put it into the fridge. It'll get all gelatinous and cool. The really opaque stuff on top is fat. You can skim it off and throw it away, or include it when you reheat the clearer broth. Just try to get an appropriate ratio, or you might get something far richer than you wanted. (For extra-tasty broth, saute the garlic and onions in butter or olive oil for about five minutes, then add the veggies and give 'em a couple more minutes, then add the carcass and water.)

Answer 3

a casserole. Here's a family favorite-

Turkey Spectacular Casserole

2 1/2-3 c. cooked and cut up turkey
1 can French style green beans
1 can cream of celery soup
1 T. pimento
1 T. chopped onion
1/2 c. water chestnuts
1/2. mayonnaise
1 pkg (6 oz) Uncle Ben's wild rice
Cook wild rice as directed. Put all ingredients in a casserole. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes at 350.
(I have increased the pimento and onion to 1 1/2 T. and added the same amount of green pepper, that's good too)

It's good with chicken too!

Answer 4

Turkey and stuffing pie. Line a pie pan with stuffing, mix leftover turkey (light and dark meat, whatever's left) and any leftover gravy with 1 can condensed mushroom soup and 1 can cream of celery soup. Add 1/2 cup milk. Add green beans, or whatever green veggies you have leftover. Put that mixture in the pie pan, cover with mashed potatoes or bread crumbs , dot with butter and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Answer 5

Turkey noodles. You can get fancy and boil the whole carcass and strip the meat off or just use leftover cut up meat. Saute some chopped onion, carrots and celery in a little oil or butter until soft. Add chicken stock and any leftover gravy, the meat, and noodles-simmer until noodles are cooked. Very yummy, almost makes me miss meat.
