Turkey enchiladas, turkey stroganoff, turkey soup, turkey fajitas, turkey sandwiches, turkey stir fry, and turkey/stuffing/mashed potatoes with gravy. Yep, we're into the leftover turkey season.
We usually cook more than one meal so we have leftovers for the next day (week, month). This habit started when we were working and we'd cook extra food on the weekend so that most of the work days, when we got home from the hour and a half drive, we could whip up a quick homemade meal.
Get creative. Use your taste-imagination. Anything you can do with cooked chicken, you can do with cooked turkey. Only better.
Here's a recipe for Southwestern Turkey Casserole
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
One 10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
1 cup of milk
One 4 oz. can chopped green chilies
1/4 cup sliced black olives
2 cups crushed corn chips
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In saucepan, combine turkey, soup, milk, chilies, and olives; heat slowly, stirring until bubbly. Sprinkle 1/3 of corn chips on bottom of 2- quart casserole dish; pour in 1/2 of turkey mixture, 1/2 cup onion and 1/2 cup of each cheese. Layer another 1/3 of corn chips, remaining turkey mixture, onion and cheeses; top with remaining corn chips. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Makes 6 servings.
Let me know if you try it.
