Every single time I make a turkey I have a little breakdown trying to think about how I am going to use up the remaining turkey meat. I was raised in a house that you absolutely DO NOT WASTE FOOD! Well, I have now perfected a few things that I basically created from scratch because I didn’t really like the other options I found.
1. Mini Turkey Croissant Pot Pies (http://wp.me/pplBN-al) – these are amazing little, bite-sized, decadent pies that make for an excellent meal that uses up most of your turkey dinner leftovers.
2. Turkey soup (http://wp.me/pplBN-aA) – can be served over rice or with noodles, we generally eat it with neither.
3. Turkey enchiladas (http://wp.me/pplBN-8t) – instead of chicken use turkey and make a creamy enchilada sauce, OMG.
4. Hot Turkey sandwiches (link coming soon) – creamy and spicy on soft breads or serve over rice.
This has become our go-to list and generally uses up the remains. We are picky about dark versus white meat – so I separate the meat when pulling it off the bone and use them for different things, e.g. enchiladas versus turkey sandwiches.
I have included links to recipes and someday if I remember to take pictures before devouring the food you will see pictures too 🙂
Happy cooking….or should I say eating!
