The Left-over Make-over

There are literally thousands of things that can be done with left over turkey and ham. Pretty much any casserole you would make with chicken could be made with turkey. I am going to chop some turkey and ham in to tiny pieces and make some fried rice and put them in there. I think that will be very good and very easy and even a little different. Here is one of my all time favorite left over turkey recipes: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2348126/left_over_turkey_recipe_creamy_turkey.html?cat=22 There is always something to be said for the good ol Turkey Sandwich too.

We love Thanksgiving left overs. I have made some TV dinners with some and today I will make some pot pies and shepherd pies Then I will make some hot pocket sandwiches.

I was soo tired of looking at all that stuff in the fridge' today i made me 6 tv dinners out of it.I'm hoping later on it will look good to me again, lol. I usually make soup or a turkey pot pie but just wasn't in the mood for any of that for some reason.

I am curious too. One of my neighbors said they make a sort of shepherds pie using the turkey and the sweet potatoes on top. Have you heard of anything like this?

Hello Chulce. We made turkey salad and turkey soup too. We make all kinds of stuff with the left overs. My honey is more creative in the kitchen then I am. We will freeze some of it for sandwiches. We did give some of it away to friends and family. But since there is only two of us we will still have plenty of left overs.

My family seems a lot different from your writings on what you do. We just heat everything up and eat it for dinner the next day and maybe the next or maybe for lunch. We dont do anything special with it but you guys are bringing some good ideas in my head. I'll remember to try out something with the leftovers.

I'm going to make turkey and sausage gumbo tomorrow, but in reading your replies turkey pot pie sounds good too! I may have to do both! We still have lots of cornbread dressing, rice dressing, sweet potatoes,etc. left. Gee, lots of food!

Families problem always from meat leftovers, a wise women can use of those liftover by keeping in fridge and use it as the time they need. By this method, they can save their expendeture as minimum as they can, so they can increase their incom in other way Thanks for this good issues

We did not have a whole lot of ham left so we just ate the rest of that the next day. I was going to make split pea soup or bean soup with the bone, but we got really busy and I never got around to it so I ended up throwing it away. As for all the side dishes I made some steak and put all the side dishes out on the table for everyone to choose what they wanted, and most of them got eaten that night. I made fried rice and put turkey in it one day, and another day I shredded the turkey heated it up with some salsa and we had turkey tacos.

In our family we love Thanksgiving leftovers. We usually make turkey hash which is delicious and I make turkey homemade soup from the neck, heart etc.. of the turkey that was taken out before cooking. As for the turkey hash we cut up the turkey in small pieces, add leftover roast potatoes or use fresh diced potatoes, stuffing, onions and green pepper with pepper. If we use fresh potatoes then we saute them in olive oil then once they are cooked we add the other ingredients and let it get hot. We serve this with yams and biscuits. Its a great meal and I hope to be having it tomorrow.

We did not have turkey this year just ham forgot to take turkey out. Usually we share the turkey and so know one has alot. I usually make another meal with my share of turkey and we also make turkey sandwiches. We have enough to last maybe three more days. I love stuffing so I never get tired of having it will a meal.

oh like you, I also make sandwiches with my left over food. I sometimes turn it to another dish. It's a perfect way to save money.

To be quite honest. This year there wasn't much in the way of leftovers. George and I didn't bother to cook a large meal. Why would we when there were only the two of us? As a result there is very little in the way of leftovers which given that George has to work tomarrow and we have things to do...He'll probably eat them himself. As for me I can always find something to eat.
