Turkey day left overs, favorite recipes?
Quote | Reply
I had to work today and needed a lunch. After contemplating the contents of the fridge I came up with this.

Turkey Udon Noodles (serves one)

6oz cooked dark meat roasted turkey cut into 1 cm cubes
2 Scallions, white part only chopped. (save greens for garnish if desired)
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp minced ginger
1-2 cups chicken or turkey broth
3-4 button mushrooms sliced
1 heaping tablespoon bonito flakes
1 small strip of Kombu
2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in cold water (optional)
1 serving cooked Udon noodles

This whole thing can be made in an 8 inch saute or omelet pan, which is what I used.

Heat stock until just boiling, turn heat off. Dump bonito flakes and kombu in, let steep for 3-5 minutes. Strain stock into a bowl through a wire mesh strainer and discard bonito flakes and kombu. Give the pan a quick rinse and return to heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add turkey and mushrooms to pan and saute on medium to medium high heat until mushrooms have gotten some color (about 6-8 minutes) Add chopped scallions and saute for a couple of minutes, add garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant. Return stock to pan and heat until just boiling. If desired stir in dissolved cornstarch to thicken. Season with salt and maybe a bit of black pepper.

Best leftover turkey lunch I have ever had. I did add some red pepper flake when I made, it but in my opinion it would have been better without it so I left it out of the recipe, but feel free.

One pan- one section mashed potatoes , one section turkey one section stuffing. Once itÂ’s all almost done add gravy. Can eat right out of the pan

Leftover turkey pie

store-bought crust is fine, roll your own if you're ambitious
leftover turkey, 2/3 white, 1/3 dark or choice
about 1/2 as much leftover stuffing as turkey
if you're adventurous, drizzle some German-style or Dijon mustard over the stuffing
layer of potato - you can do it with mashed, but it's better with unmashed, could be potatoes au gratin or from a casserole or home fries
crust on top
bake

this assumes you seasoned the stuffing; if not, you can add pepper, rosemary, thyme, etc to the potato layer
precise quantities are't really important - use what ya got, throw in some leftover greenbeans or other veggies if you feel like it
serve with some warmed-up leftover gravy

Honestly, I always liked this better than the Thanksgiving Day main course

Prime rib, pork roast, fresh fish. Used turkey is disgusting, come to think of it, fresh turkey isn't all that good either.

Cranberry sauce? Where's the freaking cheddar or in my best 'Murican Colby? Who the hell eats meat sandwiches without cheese and worse still puts fruit on it?

I also like to add stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy to the sandwich sometimes.

I made a Monte Christo yesterday subbing in turkey instead of ham. My turkey was BBQed so it has a smokey flavor.

Turned out really good.
