Leftover Recipes
|
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Mine went pretty smoothly… of course, my turkey was ready too soon… and there were all the leftovers to do something with… BUT,
I found a really nice recipe for Turkey Pot Pie in my recipes and I
used that! I also discovered it has an alternative name… Olde English
Pie… and this alternative actually allows a little of the stuffing to
be put in the pie. Trust me… it tastes great!
Take an onion, chop it small and saute in 1/3 C butter until
tender. Add 1/3 C flour (you can try for a GF one if you need
too) and mix well. Slowly mix in 1 3/4C Chicken broth and 2/3 C
milk, stirring constantly. Bring to the boil and stir for one
minute.
Add either 1 bag of frozen vegetables OR your leftover cooked veggies,
and some boiled potatoes (you can also use leftovers for
these). Ad 2-3 C of leftover turkey, and mix well. Remove
from the heat and place in a pie dish. Cover with a puff pastry
top, vent it and cook for 35 mins or until golden brown.
Delicious!
If you have leftover mashed potatoes, make them into potato cakes.
Add enough crushed crackers to make the potatoes fairly firm in texture... not as gooey as just plain mashed potatoes.
Shape into small patties, and saute either in butter or olive oil (or
turkey dripping if you kept it too) until brown (dark) on each
side. Serve immediately.
Enjoy your leftovers!
