Turkey sandwich with miracle whip, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. I didn't get turkey this year so I miss that.





Try just cutting some into cubes, add some veggies and cream of mushroom or celery (basically cream of whatever you like) soup. Let it cook until the veggies are done and pour over noodles. Nice, light and good.





Find a poultry cookbook or better yet, check out the websites below. Happy cooking!Has anyone got a good recipe for left over turkey,please dont say curry?

Try the following


Turkey Feuilletes


For the filling:


1 lb (450 g) boneless turkey thigh meat, diced


1 oz (25 g) butter


1 small onion, finely chopped


6 rashers dry-cure streaky bacon, rind removed, cut into 录 inch (5 mm) strips


1 oz (25 g) flour


1 x 284 ml carton chicken stock


2 oz (50 g) chestnut mushrooms, finely sliced


2 fl oz (55 ml) cr猫me fra卯che or double cream


2 level tablespoons finely chopped parsley


salt and freshly milled black pepper





For the pastry:


1 x 375 g pack fresh ready-rolled puff pastry


2 large egg yolks, beaten


You will also need a lightly greased baking sheet, 10 x 14 inches (25.5 x 35 cm), and a tape measure.





First of all, you need to trim the turkey meat into even-sized pieces 鈥?roughly 陆 inch (1 cm) squares. Then melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan and fry the chopped onion over a medium heat until it has turned pale gold 鈥?about 4 minutes. Then, using a draining spoon, remove it to a plate. Now turn the heat up to high and add the strips of bacon and fry these, tossing them around a few times, for about 4 minutes until they are really crisp. After that, transfer the bacon to join the onion on a plate and start to fry the turkey meat in the bacon fat. You'll need to do this in two batches, and each batch should take about 2 minutes to turn golden on all sides. Now return the onion and bacon and the first batch of turkey to the saucepan. Then, using a wooden spoon, and keeping the heat at medium, sprinkle in the flour and stir it in to soak up all the juices.





After that, add the chicken stock a little at a time, stirring as you add until all the stock has been incorporated. Then, as it comes to simmer, it will have thickened to a creamy sauce. At this stage add the mushrooms, season well and then let it simmer at the lowest possible heat, uncovered, for 30 minutes, giving it a stir from time to time. Then, finally, stir in the cr猫me fra卯che and parsley, taste to check the seasoning and then leave it aside until it is completely cooled (preferably chilled).





All of this can be done well ahead of time, but when you want to make the feuillet茅s, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400掳F (200掳C). Allow the pastry to come to room temperature 鈥?this will take about 10 minutes 鈥?then carefully unroll the sheet of pastry and cut in half so that you have two pieces. Roll one of these out until it measures 18 x 16 inches (45 x 40 cm) and then trim it to give two 7 x 7 inch (18 x 18 cm) squares. Gather up the trimmings and reserve these, then repeat the whole process with the other piece of pastry so that you have four squares in all. Now divide the cold filling between the four pieces of pastry, placing it in the centre.





Next, brush the edges with the beaten egg yolk, pull up opposite corners to meet in the centre so that what you have is in fact an envelope. Then pinch the seams together carefully, as you don't want them to burst open. Now make a small hole in the centre to allow the steam to escape, then re-roll the pastry trimmings quite thinly and cut them into leaf shapes, making veins in the leaves with the back of a knife. Then arrange the leaves to decorate the parcels. You can make the feuillet茅s up to this stage well in advance and chill them.





Before cooking, brush the whole lot thickly with a beaten egg yolk. They will need to go on to a greased baking sheet and bake on a high shelf in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are a rich golden brown. All this needs is a lightly cooked green vegetable or a salad.





or Turkey Flan with Leeks and Cheese


Ingredients


For the cheese pastry:


2 oz (50 g) Cheddar cheese, grated


6 oz (175 g) self-raising flour


3 oz (75 g) butter


陆 level teaspoon mustard powder


salt and freshly milled black pepper





For the filling:


10-12 oz (275-350 g) cooked turkey, chicken or ham (or a mixture), thinly sliced


1 lb (450 g) leeks, washed thoroughly and sliced


3 oz (75 g) cheese, grated


1陆 oz (40 g) plus 1 teaspoon butter


15 fl oz (425 ml) breakfast milk or a mixture of milk and leftover cream


1 oz (25 g) plain flour


a little freshly grated nutmeg


1 large egg, beaten


cayenne pepper


salt and freshly milled black pepper





Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 5, 375掳F (190掳C) and pop in a heavy baking sheet to pre-heat.


You will also need a 10 inch (25 cm) quiche tin.


First make up the pastry by rubbing the flour into the butter till crumbly, then add the cheese, mustard and seasoning together with just enough cold water to make a dough that leaves the bowl clean. Place the dough in a polythene bag and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or so.





Meanwhile melt the teaspoon of butter in a frying pan, swirl it round the pan and then, keeping the heat low, add the leeks and let them gently cook for about 6 minutes and exude some of their juice. After that place the leeks in a sieve, strain off any juices into a bowl and set aside. Next roll out the pastry and use it to line the prepared quiche tin. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork, then pre-bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 15 minutes.





While that's happening put the 1陆 oz (40 g) butter, milk and flour in a saucepan and bring up to the boil, whisking all the time, until you have a smooth thick sauce. Season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg, then leave the sauce to simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove the pastry case from the oven and arrange the leeks over the base, followed by the slices of turkey, chicken or ham.





Now pour the reserved leek juice into the sauce, add three-quarters of the grated cheese and the beaten egg and mix well. Pour the sauce evenly over the contents of the flan and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top together with a dusting of cayenne. Bake the flan at the same temperature as above on the baking sheet for 25-30 minutes or until nicely browned on top.
Just substitute turkey for anything that you would use chicken for. Tamales, Enchiladas, Soup, Quesadillas, Soft Tacos, Turkey Wrap, Turkey Sloppy Joes, Turkey Sandwitch are all some examples of what you can do w/ leftover turkey.
Fry some onion, add turkey cut up into bite size bits, mix in some mushroom soup and herbs. Put into a pie dish and cover with pastry or mashed potatoes, bake in hot oven until golden brown. You can also use as filling for double crust pie.

Here's my recipe for leftover roasted chicken but should work with turkey too: Shred turkey to medium sized slivers, add seeded tomatoes cut in wedges, add chives or the greenest part of spring onion leaves, olive oil, salt and balsamic vinegare, and you've got a delicious turkey salad.
You can make turkey croquettes. Boil a few potatoes, Once they are soft put them in a bowl, add the turkey very finley chopped,salt,pepper, garlic finely chopped, parsley finely chopped, one egg beaten and some breadcrumbs. Mix everything together and make them into croquettes if the mixture is sticky add some more breadcrumbs or if it is too dry add another egg. when made into croquettes coat them with breadcrumbs. Now they are ready for frying. Serve them with chips and salad.
turkey cakes in breadcrumbs, yummy
Look up Turkey Rissoto on the net.


Happy New Year
turkey and mushroom pie yum yum
I made enchiladas with ours.





Soup is always a great use for leftover meat that may be a little dried out.
Cut some turkey up into smallish pieces, chop some spring onions into it, a dolop of mayonnaise and eat with nice crusty bread. I am making a stirfry with my left overs ... peppers, chilli, mushrooms and serving with a garlic bread!
