Turkey leftovers...

Just remembered a creative way to use your leftovers. If you make enchiladas, you can replace the chicken with turkey and it tastes just as good!!! Feel free to share your creative ways to use the leftovers. My sister is making cranberry, turkey, stuffing cheesecake. Sounds YUCK!

I made green chile enchiladas (kickass 'family' recipe) last year for friends and they were a huge hit! Random I know, but if you're running out of ideas, might be helpful!!

Looks most like these:

Turkey salad sandwiches with cranberries!

I normally do green chili turkey enchiladas, sandwiches, and turkey noodle soup. This year I made turkey hash tacos! OMG they were amazing

I made a fat ass sandwich the other day with leftovers lol. It had turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes, then I dipped it in gravy....talk about BOMB lol.

Hash tacos? What are these you speak of?

Quoting LolaMcKitten:" Turkey salad sandwiches with cranberries! "

Curious, the cranberries fresh or like the sauce?

YES.

My kind of sandwich.

Quoting Kinley Nicoles Mommy:" Hash tacos? What are these you speak of?"

I got hash browns and cooked them with turkey and gravy (instead of oil lol) and fried some white corn tortillas and had a bunch of cheese on them. On one i through on green chile salsa. (this was okay, but plain was awesome!)

Quoting Kinley Nicoles Mommy:" Curious, the cranberries fresh or like the sauce?"

Fresh - just cut them up a little.

When I make chicken salad, I put in celery, grapes and walnuts, I just kind of adapted that to turkey / Thanksgiving - the fresh fruit gives it a nice fresh crunch and the cranberry is tart, which is a nice contrast.

That sounds super yummy and healthier than most options lol. I just had a fruit/nut salad, with cranberries and pine nuts. Totally should have thrown some turkey in it.

we make turkey croquettes

they look like this


They are delicious. Inside there is butter, flour chicken stock (or extra turkey juice if your have any) food processed carrots, celery, and onions.. you make a rou add some flour add some chicken stock get a good constency we also add worchester and some gravy going then add shredded turkey.. you then batter them up with eggs and bread crumbs and can either deep fry them or bake them..

the day after thanksgiving fiance family has a tradition where everyone gets together again and makes these with the leftovers plus the xtra bird they cook for them..

That sounds good! I made a pretty good salad for Thanksgiving, it had mixed greens, sliced red onions, mandarin orange slices, pecans, bacon and a raspberry vinaigrette dressing.

I gotta have meat in my salad, I'm a wimp, I could never be a vegetarian of any sort.

That sounds like my kind of salad! (cept I have to have meat). I thought I was alone on liking raw onions in my salads!

Haha, well it was already fixed so I didn't think about adding anything to it! And I drank carrot juice, it was beyond healthy for me.
