Leftovers?!

Leftovers are not a favourite of mine, but wasting food is much less of a favourite, and there is just something about leftover turkey that is amazing!! Since I don't have a microwave here in Turkey, I couldn't just cheat and toss all the goods into the microwave and call it a meal. I also couldn't make my typical favourite turkey sandwich because my leftovers were wings and a bunch of chunks of turkey. What to do, you ask? Well... I came up with the brilliant idea of making a turkey gravy, I used a cream gravy mix to help me start out, I added in loads of yummy fresh mushrooms and then the chunks of turkey. I let it all get thick and hot and then poured it over some cold left over stuffing. The hot, hot gravy heated the stuffing up nicely and it was a lovely meal of a cold and blustery day. So instead of that typical sandwich, or just making plates for your microwave, give this idea a go... any other different ideas for leftover turkey dinner out here? Please post them in the comments and if you write, or have a cooking blog where you've posted your ideas, please add your link... I'd love to check them out!!

  1. Love leftover turkey! Yesterday I was planning out what to do with it all. Have a big pot going presently going to do some pot pies for the freezer and some individual stew bowls for quick meals.

  3. I'm making turkey leftovers now, I've got a great soup in the fridge ready to freeze, enough stuff left for a Turkey pie (and I'll probably make Olivia some turkey/squash mix too) - my mom always used hers into a Turkey loaf and turkey chow mein

  4. Mmmm... Turkey chow mein sounds great!! My mom always did Turkey soup that was frozen, Turkey stroganoff and sliced up the breast meat for sandwiches (we froze that too). I just have a little bit, but I love to hear the ideas... makes me wanna go buy a chicken to roast!
