Turkey Leftover Ideas

Anyone else using leftover Thanksgiving turkey for meals this week? Yesterday was hodge podge casserole I created on a whim. Probably similar variations out there.

Line bottom of casserole dish with chunked turkey. In bowl combine carrots, turnip and mashed potatoes with 1 can mushroom soup (use whatever veggies you have left over) season with salt pepper and garlic. Layer over top of turkey and top with cheese. Bake for 30 minutes. The kids LOVED it!

Today is a turkey, stuffing, gravy casserole with peas.

I am determined not to let any leftovers waste this time so I am trying to get creative. Anyone wanna share thier ideas?

We had turkey quesadillas yesterday :) And today we had sweet potato pancakes with the leftover sweet potatoes. Tomorrow we're having pea soup with ham (ham was a leftover as well). I am thinking the same way...use it all up!

I wish I had leftovers to serve! Those are great ideas though... I will keep them in mind for Christmas turkey leftovers.

I made homemade turkey soup and we are having it for lunch tomorrow.

I do turkey tettrazini .... I cook in my pampered chef covered casserole baker (stonewear) but any covered casserole dish will do .... Combine 250g of spaghettini with chicken broth ( enough to cover pasta) and cook in micro covered for 10-13 mins stiring half way ... Meanwhile in a bowl combine a can of mushroom soup, 250 ml sour cream, 1/3 cup parm cheese, clove of garlic (minced) 2/3 cup milk, some peas or beans, ( I add mushrooms and onions too but sautée them first otherwise they are crunchy and my kids won't eat them) mixit into the pasta and cook for another 6-8 mins and sprinkle with more parm and serve..... Very yummy !
