5 Uses for Leftover Turkey

1. Make “Turkey Noodle Soup” instead of “Chicken Noodle Soup” (pictured below) and freeze the leftovers. Here is a recipe to get you started (just sub turkey for the chicken):http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2011/10/05/recipe-homemade-chicken-noodle-soup/
2. Make “Turkey Terrific Sandwiches” inspired by a sandwich shop on Nantucket Island called Provisions. All it takes is some good whole-wheat bread, a little mayo, stuffing, turkey, and the optional cranberry sauce to make one good sandwich. Another great sandwich option would be turkey, brie, and a quick apple chutney…yum!
3. Make homemade turkey stock with the bones…just like you do with leftover chicken bones/parts. This would be the perfect starting point for your “Turkey Noodle Soup” as mentioned above or for other dishes that call for chicken broth/stock. Here are the details on “The Best Whole Chicken in a Crock Pot” recipe: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2011/02/25/recipe-the-best-whole-chicken-in-a-crock-pot/
4. Freeze batches of the cooked turkey meat for sandwiches or recipes on another day using either zip lock bags or other freezer-safe containers.
5. Sub turkey for cooked chicken/meat (or just add it to the veggies in vegetarian dishes) in some of your favorite recipes including…

• Chicken Enchiladas
• Turkey Gumbo (just sub turkey for the seafood)
• Tortilla Soup
• Fajitas
• As a topping on Whole-Wheat Pizza
• Turkey Chili
• Stuffed Shells or Lasagna

 No burritos? I heated mine with black beans and salsa and then we ate it in tortillas with a side of Spanish rice last night.

We don't have any leftover turkey, but when I do, I'm always looking for different ways to reuse it.  TFS.
