Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’m not cooking this year but I bought a turkey any way. We love making the classic turkey dinner. It is such a treat! Afterwards, you are left to deal with the leftover turkey. What’s your favorite recipe for leftover turkey? Some of my favorites include:
Turkey Wreath (recipe from Food.com)
Turkey and Noodles (from the Members area)
Bowtie Soup (from Freezer Lunches To Go)
Country Chicken/Turkey Pot Pie (from the Big Book of Freezer Cooking)
Chicken/Turkey Tetrazzini (from the Members area)
Chicken Fried Rice
Chicken Pockets (from Freezer Lunches To Go)
Chicken Quesadillas (from the Big Book of Freezer Cooking)
Here are two new recipes to use up that left over turkey!
This is a great recipe to use up some of the Thanksgiving meal leftovers such as turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and peas. It’s a great tasting soup. The bacon gives it a smoky flavor.
Hint: If you don’t have evaporated milk on hand, you can make your own! Mix 2/3 cup of non-fat dry milk with 3/4 cup water to yield 1 cup of homemade evaporated milk.
If you are looking for a lighter meal after your Thanksgiving feast, this is a great way to use up left over turkey. The sauce is very light and delicate.
Closing Comments From Carol
Enjoy the recipes! Have you started cooking for Christmas? I have! I already have made Sweet Potato Soufflé, Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes (from the Members area), Spinach Lasagna, (from the Big Book of Freezer Cooking), Iowa State Fair Guinea Grinders, and Chicken Enchilada (from Slow Cooker Freezer Favorites). I have more to make but it’s a great start!
