I hope that you and your loved ones had a fantastic memory filled, perfectly orchestrated, cooked to perfection Thanksgiving. Or if your family gatherings are more akin to the Griswold's, I hope you survived and are now safely home. Either way, you have probably had your fill of turkey, turkey sandwiches, and carbtastically overloaded- the turkey dinner sandwich, in which a little bit of all of the components that comprise the T-Day dinner get enrobed in bread and eaten out of hand, most likely over the kitchen sink. But the poor overlooked turkey that seems to only make it's debut in the fourth quarter each year, is as versitle as chicken and can be used in leiu in any and every recipe which calls for cooked chicken. But you went and hit the midnight/earlybird/all day/can't miss/you are never going to see a deal like this again ever in your life sale shopping. And you are tired. I get it. So I have provided some great links to inspire you to create something so awesome with your PlannedOver turkey - you just might cook one EVERY quarter next year!
Stuffed Pumpkin - how delicious would this be with turkey, sourdough, cubed brie, pine nuts, and crasins? Maybe even throw in a few mushrooms and a little chopped thyme!!!
Turkey Pot Pie - always a hit and a great way to use up gravy as well
Thai Curry Turkey - this certainally won't taste like your Thanksgiving dinner. Unless of course you had Thai for Thanksgiving, in which case make yourself a turkey sandwich.
Next-Day Turkey Soup with Mashed Potato Polpetti - Finish off your turkey AND your mashed potatoes!
Turkey Enchiladas - for a quick supper with a nod south of the Border.
Happy Eating!!! Enjoy!
