How do you prepare your leftover Thanksgiving turkey?
I’ve got a lot of turkey leftover from my pre-thanksgiving dinner and since I’ve already eaten up the rest of the leftover side dishes I’m looking for some options as to what to turn the rest of the turkey into?
What do you think?

We have kind of a wierd tradition at our house.we cut the leftovers into smaller pieces, freeze them and make a dish that has become a Christmas tradition. Dressing with the leftover turkey in it ,served with gravy.This was started by my mom, a drepression child who never wasted anything.

I eat mine on sandwiches, but if you’re turkey sandwiched out, turkey tetrazzini is excellent – one of my favorites, and equally good for dark and light meat:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup carrots (I use the pre-cut matchstick carrots)
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
1/2 cup white wine (or sherry)
1/2 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth (or turkey broth)
1 cup parmesan cheese (divided)
4 ounces light cream cheese (low fat)
1 (8 ounce) package thin spaghetti (cooked)
2 cups turkey meat, cooked and shredded (or chicken)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I use panko)
Not the one? See other Creamy Turkey Tetrazzini Recipes
One-Dish Meal
Casseroles One-Dish Meal
Chicken One-Dish Meal
Preheat oven to 350.
Melt butter in saute pan.
Add onion, celery, pepper, salt, carrots, and mushrooms (optional).
Saute until vegetables are tender.
Add flour and stir until vegetables are coated.
Add wine, and stir quickly until flour is absorbed.
Gradually add broth, stirring constantly.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat.
Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and the Neufchatel cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
Add the peas, turkey and pasta.
Stir until blended.
Coat a casserole with non-stick spray and transfer mixture to the casserole.
Combine breadcrumbs (or panko) with 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until lightly browned.
Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
I usually sub out the broccoli for the other veggies, add a good amount of shredded swiss cheese, and add some lemon to the sauce. Delicious!
