Thanksgiving is over for Canadians and on its way for Americans so this is a good time to offer up a few recipes that I used with our left over turkey. Turkey is one of my favourite meats and I always buy the biggest turkey I can afford so there are a lot of leftovers. Leftovers, for me, are the best part of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Gobbler Cobbler
- 2 cups of leftover diced turkey
- 2 cups of leftover veggies or frozen ones
- 1 cup of leftover gravy
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can of Pillsbury or other brand biscuits
In a saucepan or microwave, heat the turkey gravy until it is hot. Mix it well so it is nice and smooth. Pour into a 9X9 inch pan or casserole dish. Add the turkey and veggies and mix well. Peel the biscuits apart and lay them around the edge of the pan. Leave the centre open. Brush the top of the biscuits with a bit of melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees F. until the biscuits are a nice golden colour and done. Serve hot.
The Ultimate Turkey Sandwich
- 1 cup of chopped turkey
- 1 little green onion, chopped. Add some green tail too.
- mayonnaise
- leftover dressing
- Swiss cheese slices
- cranberry sauce
Mix the turkey and onion together with enough mayonnaise to hold it all together. Put half the mixture on a buttered slice of your favourite bread and the other half of the mixture on another slice. Top each pile of turkey with some leftover dressing and a slice of Swiss Cheese. Place both open face sandwiches on a cookie sheet and place in a 350 degree F oven until the cheese is bubbly. Remove to plates. Top with a generous tablespoon of cranberry sauce. Yummy.
Sweet and Sour Turkey
- 4 cups diced turkey
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 1/2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 small sweet red pepper, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup onion, thinly sliced
- cooked rice
Sauté turkey in the butter for 3 minutes. Drain the pineapple but keep the syrup. Mix the sugar, cornstarch, syrup, vinegar and soy sauce together. Add to the turkey. Cook and stir until sauce thickens. Add pineapple, red pepper and onion. Cook until onion starts to look transparent. Serve over rice.
Turkey and Noodle Casserole with Mushrooms
- 4 cups diced turkey
- 1 small sweet red pepper, diced (or half of a big one)
- 10 white mushrooms cleaned and sliced Include stems.
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 10 oz. package noodles
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can of milk
- crushed potato chips (optional)
Cook noodles to package directions. Drain. In a casserole dish mix the soup with the 1 can of milk until smooth. Throw in the noodles and stir to mix. Add the turkey and mushrooms and mix adding a bit more milk if you have too. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and then sprinkle the diced peppers over that. If so inclined, crush a cup of potato chips and spread over the top. Bake for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees F. Serve hot with a cold crisp salad.
