Turkey Leftover Ideas

Are you sick of having turkey sandwiches? I am. Here are a few things that can freshen up the leftovers. Often turkey can be very dry from reheating. So I usually will eat it cold or mix it with a sauce of some sort.

Curry Turkey Pot Pie
Cube cold turkey meat and vegetables into 1/2" cubes. You will need 2 cups of cubed turkey. 1/2 cup cubed carrots. 1/2 cup cubed celery. 1/4 cup cubed white onion. 1/2 cup frozen peas. 1 can coconut cream. 2 tbsps yellow curry powder. Sautée the onions in a large pot until softened. Add carrots and celery; mix well. Add coconut milk and peas. Bring to a boil, while continually stirring. Salt and pepper to taste. Thicken liquid with cornstarch and water. Place filling into a pre-made pie shell and bake until golden brown.

Turkey Cobb Salad
1 romaine heart sliced into 1/4" ribbons. 2 hard boiled eggs, peeled and diced into 1/2" cubes. 1 Roma tomato diced. 1 avocado diced. 6 strips of extra crispy bacon, diced or crumbled. 1/4 cup blue cheese. 1/4 cup chopped white mushrooms. 1 cup cubed turkey. Layer the ingredients linearly separately. Serve with a salad dressing of your choice.

I hope you enjoy my leftover ideas. Let me know what you think.

Happy Turkeying~
