What to Make with Leftover Turkey: 4 Recipes
When you carve the turkey, set aside the slices that will fit on a roll. Gather the little shreds for soup and keep the larger pieces for a saucy bake. What else is left from dinner can help you pick which recipe to make first.
Turkey cranberry sliders for the slices
Slices stack neatly on small rolls, with cheddar to hold the layers together and a little tart cranberry sauce to cut through the richness. Bake the whole tray together for an easy lunch. Get the recipe : Turkey cranberry sliders.
Turkey noodle soup for the small pieces
The scraps from around the bones are just right for a spoon. Start the carrots and celery in the broth and warm the cooked turkey near the end. Egg noodles turn a handful of meat into a bowl of supper. Get the recipe : Turkey noodle soup.
Turkey shepherd’s pie for leftover mash
If you have mashed potatoes as well as turkey, use them as the lid for this bake. Gravy keeps the chopped turkey and vegetables moist underneath while the ridges of potato brown on top. Get the recipe : Turkey shepherd’s pie.
Turkey tetrazzini for pasta night
Choose tetrazzini when the potatoes are gone. Browned mushrooms give the sauce depth, and the spaghetti catches the cream sauce so each forkful includes some of the turkey. Get the recipe : Turkey tetrazzini.
