Hi:

Everytime my mom visits, she insists on cooking a whole
turley and I usually spend the next week eating turkey
sandwiches. I am wondering if anyone has an alternative
recipe for the leftover bird, preferably a casserole of
some kind.

Thanks

There have been books writen and careers made by that
question.

Turkey pot pie, turkey al a king and turkey quesdillias are
my favorites.

Altough turkey lasagna, turkey stew, turkey chilli are ok

Turkey soup is nice too.

So you want a basic leftover turkey, cream of something
soup, selected veggies of your choice recipe that you bake
for an hour at 350?

Maybe a basic chicken stock, sour cream and leftover
turkey simmered a while and served over rice or noodles
would be better.

Grind it up, mix with some sautéed spinach, and make
ravioli.

Or, make mole (from scratch, or mixes from a Mexican store).

Or, a meat pie, with lots of veggies.

You can freezer the ravioli and the meat pie, to be eaten
long after mom leaves.

Turkey cassarole is easy. :-) You can use the same recipe
for just about any leftover meat...

I chop the meat fairly course and make up a pot of egg
noodles in chicken stock instead of water. Cook the noodles
down a bit then drain.

Mix the turkey in with the noodles, add a can of well
drained peas and some grated carrot.

Spice as you like but I add powdered garlic and powdered
onion, a bit of lemon pepper and if the herb garden is going
well like it is right now, a bit of minced basil, thyme and
parsley, and some dill if it is a fish cassarole.

Add some shredded cheese of your choice and mix well.

Dump that mixture into a cassarole dish and top with lots
of additional grated cheese, (I personally use Jack) and
bake in a 350 degree oven until the cheese is all melted
and just beginning to brown. Should not take more than
maybe 20 minutes.

Serve.

Personally, for lots of leftover turkey, I usually just make
turkey salad out of it, with or without cold fusilli tri-
colored pasta.

Make King Ranch Chicken (a So. TX favorite), but use cooked
turkey instead of chicken:

Saute a chopped onion in some butter until soft. Add a can
each of cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and
Rotel. Add cooked turkey and season to taste.

In a baking dish, add a layer of the turkey mixture, a layer
of torn up corn (or flour--that's what I use) tortillas, and
a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat layers, ending
with a layer of cheese on top. Cover and bake at 325 F for
50-60 minutes.

I just cooked a big turkey today. There's only the two of
us, but we love cold turkey and I'll use some to make
wonton soup.

Chunk up some of the meat into bite sized pieces. Make a
bechamel/white sauce with some of the left- over gravy and
maybe a splash of sherry. Saute some sliced mushrooms and
minced green onion, mix with sauce and meat. Season with
salt, pepper, tarragon and maybe a splash of hot sauce.

Serve over cooked linguini or spaghetti or mix with the
pasta and pour into a vcasserole, top with buttered crumbs
and freshly grated parmesan and bake till bubbly.

Or serve the meat/sauce/mushrooms over toast.

I love turkey enchiladas - no recipe needed, really - you
can "casserole" them if you want.

Also, I like turkey salad (grind coarsely, add chopped
celery, almonds and mayo). This makes great toasted
sandwiches - like a "melt."

How about Turkey Devonshire sandwiches? These are hot open
faced sandwiches where you start by toasting bread, and
topping it with some turkey, a strip or two of bacon, and a
slice of tomato, and finishing it off with a hollandaise or
cheddar cheese sauce, and baked until it gets warm
throughout or maybe broil for a minute to to get it a
little bubbly. I've tried this with stuffing instead of
bread underneath and it turned out well also. You could
probably bake this in a pie crust also and it would turn
out pretty good

Chop it up and add it to..... A stir fry with lots of
peppers. Pan toast sesame seeds and add some grated ginger,
brown sugar, sesame oil and salt then let cool. Add the
chopped turkey and make spring rolls with shredded lettuce
and the sesame mix.

I thot it was a can of cream of mushroom (or chicken)
soup and a can of cheddar cheese soup, but I haven't made
it in years. I do remember that I added a few chopped
jalapeno peppers.

So glad someone said Turkey Enchiladas! That's our
favorite turkey leftover recipe and it can use up quite a
bit of turkey!

That would work, too! I've seen about a million different
recipes for KRC.

I just made the recipe I posted above the other day for the
first time (with chicken), and it turned out *really* yummy.

Enchiladas

I made these with cooked ground turkey, but you could chop
up your leftovers or give them a few spins in the food
processor.

The ground turkey seemed so bland, so I added some sauteed
onions and red and green peppers (chopped), a tablespoon of
olive paste (I saw some enchilada recipes that called for
chopped olives, but already had the olive past in the
fridge, so I used that), and two minced chipotles in adobo.
Mixed it in a bowl with just a little cheese and a bit of
enchilada sauce (canned Hatch green enchilada sauce). Didn't
need much salt.

PAMed a baking dish and put a little of the sauce in
the bottom.

Rolled the turkey filling up in corn tortillas (I like the
Cook's Illustrated method of spritzing them with PAM and
heating in the oven for a few minutes) and put them in the
dish. Spread the rest of the enchilada sauce over them and
sprinkled with a little more cheese (a combo of pepper
jack and mild cheddar). Covered the dish with foil and
baked for about half an hour, then uncovered for another
ten minutes or so.

My Sig Other *loved* these, and I thought they were good
too. I froze some of the leftovers and even though when
reheated the tortillas were more like polenta, they were
still pretty good. I plan to make these again.
