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!
