What to do with leftovers????

I want everyone's favorite recipes for leftover turkey.

I always make soup. Sometimes I use rice, egg noodles, or the family favorite, frozen fat noodles.

Other things I do with the leftover turkey:

Turkey Hash
Stuffing (homemade or Stovetop)
Turkey
Corn 1-2 cans, drained
Gravy
Mashed Potatoes

Layer a greased 9x13 (or smaller depending on family size) with stuffing, top with turkey, 1-2 cans corn, gravy and mashed potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until bubbly.


Turkey Tetrazinni
2 cups broken spaghetti noodles
3/4 cup boiling water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/8 t. celery salt
1/8 t. pepper
1 1/2 cups cooked turkey
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, divided

Cook noodles according to directions. Meanwhile, dissolve bouillon in water (if I have leftover broth from cooking the turkey down I use this instead). Add soup, celery salt and pepper. Drain spaghetti and add to soup mixture. Stir in turkey and 3/4 cup cheese. Transfer to an 8-inch greased baking dish. Top with remaining cheese and bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

*I double this for my family.


Turkey, Bacon and Jack Quesadillas

Turkey
Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Jack Cheese, shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup (sometimes)
Chipotle seasoning, if desired
Green Chilies, chopped, if desired
Tortillas

Combine all ingredients and scoop onto tortilla. Top with another tortilla. Cook on griddle until golden brown and melted inside. Serve with sour cream and diced tomatoes.


I also make a Turkey Tortilla soup that's yummy.
