You can easily freeze it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407373 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 20:00:34 +0000 sera_87 2407373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: yeah I made stock from the bones. I've never found it particularly gelantious but a good strain usually takes care of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407364 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:46:36 +0000 gingerbebe 2407364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made turkey and spicy sausage jambalaya with our leftovers. Just chopped up two cups of turkey and a few links of spicy sausage and sautéed with a cup each of onion, celery, and green bell pepper until soft, add 2 cups of long grain rice and enough oil to toast the rice grains until they are opaque. Then add a 15oz can of tomatoes (I like petite diced or crushed but even spaghetti sauce works in a pinch) and 1.5 cups of broth or water. A bay leaf, a pinch of thyme, a few shakes of Cajun seasoning or just a mix of paprika, cayenne, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Then let it steam covered on low for 22 minutes, then stir gently and check for water. Might need another 1/4-1/2 cup. If so, add it and cover for another 5-6 minutes. Add Tabasco or hot sauce to taste. Can omit cayenne and hot sauce and use a milder sausage or go straight turkey to make it kid friendly. Makes a lot of food!</p> <p>We also made turkey tortilla soup - sauté a cup each carrots and onions and some garlic, a teaspoon each of cumin and chili powder, add a box of broth and 1.5 cups of red enchilada sauce (we like Las Palmas). When the carrots are soft, add 2 cups chopped chicken, a cup of frozen corn, some chopped corn tortillas if you like a thicker soup, but we like it brothy and just add crushed chips on top. Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with avocado, crushed chips, cilantro, sliced radishes, and cheese. Add a squeeze of lime. </p> <p>Optional: Add a can of chickpeas or some cold rice to the soup if you want a heartier soup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407358 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:37:16 +0000 regberadaisy 2407358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade turkey clubs!</p> <p>I also do a quick turkey stroganoff.</p> <p>@sera_87: do you use the carcass for the stock? I've found turkey stock to be very very fatty and gelatinous? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407353 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 19:26:24 +0000 youboots 2407353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turkey pot pie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407328 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 18:08:57 +0000 sera_87 2407328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the same pot pie recipe but I froze it. </p> <p>I love turkey sandwiches with warm stuffing and jellied cranberry sauce and honestly just make a huge vat of soup (I also make stock from the turkey). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407318 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 17:49:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This isn't that different but I did turkey pot pie with our leftovers. I only used the top pie crust because I only had one, and left out the onion because I didn't have any. Very easy and it was tasty!<br /> <a href="http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/classic-turkey-pot-pie/222c3cef-31cc-4936-abfd-cc72611c16c4" rel="nofollow">http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/classic-turkey-pot-pie/222c3cef-31cc-4936-abfd-cc72611c16c4</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favourite-leftover-turkey-recipes#post-2407316 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 17:46:18 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2407316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch of white and dark leftover turkey and need a good recipe to use it up! Any tried and true casseroles, bakes, etc? I could do shepherds pie but feel like trying something different. </p>
