I thought I'd post this here. The question came up on another forum. I make turkey soup, turkey pie, turkey and dumplings and I've even made turkey parmagina(sp). I thaw and cook the turkey and then cook it and freeze whatever we are not having for dinner that night. It is already cooked and can be pulled out for a quick meal.I think maybe this year I'll grind some thawed and raw for ground turkey to add to chili and pasta sauce. I'll seasoned it a cook in up and then re-freeze.

Those ideas sound really good for leftover turkey. I like cold turkey sandwiches. I like hot shredded turkey and gravy over left over potatoes. I also like to make a casserole out of remaining ingredients (stuffing, turkey, potato, corn casserole, bean casserole) it's an everything casserole. Then I pour gravy over it and serve with a veggie. I am hungry for Thanksgiving , not much longer now!

I make turkey hot pockets with the leftover cheese and veggies. or use the turkey in any casserole with a mushroom soup base or cheese soup base. sprinkle leftover stuffing on top.

My mom makes turkey enchiladas. She also makes various turkey casserole including my favorite turkey divan.

~Creamed turkey with pastry is my favorite! I also like turkey enchiladas, empanandas and enchilada pie. And a classic cold turkey sandwich or turkey rice soup is always yummy too!~

Open faced turkey sandwhiches, casseroles and just turkey sandwiches

I make turkey soups, sandwiches, pot pies, shredded turkey over biscuits and/or mashed potatoes, chef salads, etc. I'll have to give that "everything" casserole a try this year, so I don't end up throwing out a lot of the other leftovers (stuffing, veggies, etc).

Does ground turkey count? I use ground turkey almost exclusively rather than ground beef. The biggest reason in cost, but I'm sure glad I've been elminated beef because of all the e coli recalls around here on ground beef.

I use it in everything, sloppy joes, tacos, burritos, goulash, chili. I saw Rachel Ray (on 30 Minute Meals) make a turkey shepard's pie and used mashed sweet potatoes on the top rather than the standard mashed potatoes. This will definitely be in the 'must try' file.

Thin sliced hot turkey on grillled sourdough bread with montery jack cheese and tomato, sandwiches. They are yummy!

I use leftover cooked turkey in fried rice. Also in homemade rice-a-roni type skillet dinners. And, of course, the soups, sandwiches, etc.
