Easy, Yummy Recipes Using Cooked Turkey
Almost every household in America has the same problem the day
after Thanksgiving -- what will you do with all the leftover
turkey? You could just reheat the leftovers and serve them. You
could just slice the turkey and make cold sandwiches. But this
year, after you've eaten the plain leftovers and sandwiches and
want something with a little more pizzazz, try one of these
tasty and easy recipes.
Easiest Turkey Pot-Pie
This pot-pie is very easy and results in a dinner the whole
family will love. My family is partial to this recipe because
they prefer the pie crust to the biscuit topping that is
commonly used in pot-pies. If you don't have frozen soup
vegetables, regular mixed vegetables are fine as a substitution.
* 2 cups chopped cooked turkey * 1 16-oz pkg frozen soup
vegetables * 1 12-oz jar turkey gravy * 1/4 cup water * 2
refrigerated pie crusts
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine turkey, vegetables, gravy and water in a mixing bowl.
Set aside.
Place one of the pie crusts in a 9-inch pie pan. Add the turkey
mixture. Place the remaining pie crust on top. Seal the edges of
the pie crusts. Cut slits in the top pie crust to vent.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour, until crust is golden and filling
is bubbly.
Turkey Hoagies
Whether you call them hoagies, subs or grinders, these hot
sandwiches are just right for a quick meal when you want
something warm and yummy without a lot of work.
* 1 Tbsp olive oil * 1 large onion, sliced * 1 large green
pepper, sliced * 1 cup chopped cooked turkey * 1/8 cup Italian
salad dressing * 4 hoagie rolls, split * 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Saute onions and green pepper in pan with olive oil until they
begin to soften .AddturkeyandItaliansaladdressingtothe
onion and pepper mixture and heat through. Divide onion, pepper
and turkey mixture between the hoagie rolls and top each with
the mozzarella cheese.
This year, give your family an extra reason to be thankful by
cooking something new with your Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.
