leftover turkey ideas

[DeerMother]

What can I whip up besides sandwiches? I'm planning on freezing some of it also.

eta - I don't have any of the traditional sides leftover.

Do you have the carcass or just the turkey bits?


My leftover extravaganza is always

Soup with homemade egg noodles

Breakfast Hash

pot pie

Turkey Verde Enchiladas



Then white chili if there is any left

[DeerMother]

Dh threw out the carcass and fat.

Turkey noodle soup sounds great!

We love pot pie here. If you slice it thin you can do a pseudo stir fry....

I like to do runzas with shredded turkey. There is a recipe for runzas in the Whole Foods from the Whole World cookbook by LLL, and it called for ground turkey instead of the traditional ground beef, I think. Or maybe that was just the substitution my friend used. But after we made them together in a Once A Month Cooking get together, I made them several times later on, using shredded turkey. They are so good that way!

How do you make homemade egg noodles? I'm making soup and that sounds good.

Use one egg per every 3/4 cup flour and some salt.

I usually do 1 1/2 cup flour 2 eggs 1 tsp salt

They are a bit softer if you fill 1/2 of one of the egg shells with some milk (or sub I use rice milk) and add that.

Mix them together into a ball. Let that rest for about twenty minutes

Then separate the dough into four or five smaller balls and roll them out real flat. Use more flour for the counter and rolling pin.

Let the big flat blobs rest for another 15 minutes or so.

Slice up your noodles

The resting is super important. If you don't let your dough rest the noodles will turn to goo.

We are having turkey reubens for lunch. It's the only way my son will eat sauerkraut and we are trying to do more fermented foods. I also second the enchilada idea.

turkey lentil soup! i like to take it easy after a day full of cooking!
brown garlic and onions, add lentils, liquid, and turkey. you can use chicken stock, or just water to make the lentils.
I add diced potatoes and a bit of mint to mine.
salt at the end if needed!

Crepes with left over turkey, broccoli and homemade cheese sauce!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Then I put them into a pan and cover in some grated cheese and bake for a bit so everything's nice and hot and melty.

OMG I want some now!

I threw the carcas in the crockpot this morning with cold water, carrots, celery, onions and spices. Its been simmering all day.

[KatWrangler]

I am making turkey tetrazzini tonight. Probably a pot pie tomorrow.

[KayTeeJay]

I always do turkey rice soup...that's what I *should* be doing instead of MDC'ing, actually.
