I roasted a turkey yesterday (no, I am not confused about Thanksgiving). I'd like some recipes for leftover turkey. I would love to have something besides the same old left over turkey dishes (you know the type that Mom made that seemed to last for ever).
Please, serious cooks only, no ';add a can of soup'; type cooksRecipes for left over turkey?

chopped turkey, chopped onion, chopped celery, mushrooms and salt and pepper sauteed in butter and then mixes with egg noodles.
same as above only forget the noodles and add dried cranberries and chopped pecans and stuff it into pastry shells.
use it to make chili instead of beef. It is absolutely delicious
A great thing I do with leftover turkey is freeze it. I freeze it chopped up-2 cups worth in a cool whip container and then I can pull it out whenever I need it.

Chop up a small onion, some celery, and a couple of boiled eggs. Take some of the roasted turkey and chop it up. Add all of the ingredients and add some mayonnaise. You now have Turkey salad. You can serve it on a bed of lettuce, on bread or on crackers. Enjoy, it is good.

I've made in the past:
Turkey noodle soup (make it with chicken stock) and add the veggies you like.
I love Nicoise salads, and I've added turkey over the salad and it was just YUMMY!
If you have kids, you can make sandwiches - of course.
Also in pasta salads. Shred the turkey a little and toss it with fun pasta with legumes, black olives and some italian salad dressing.
If you have tons of meat left, you can always make a sheperd's pie.
Good luck.
turkey pot pie, BBQ turkey, as in BBQ pulled pork but do it with turkey on low in a slow cooker, turkey and dumplings, really anythign with chicken in it can be replaced with turkey, i woudl say turkey burgers but you need raw turkey for that
Well, we always made fresh stuffing and added strips of turkey to it and baked in the oven with a layer of cheese on top and gravy on the side. I can't think of anything but the generic leftover recipes. Once the turkey has been baked and basted in it's own juices, it's honestly not going to change in taste and only dry out with each new cooking. I guess Turkey Pot Pie was invented for just that reason.
make a sandwich :)
