Let’s face it we never eat the whole bird in one sitting. It’s a fact that leaves us with extra turkey and few ideas on ways to make it look, taste, or be anything but leftover bird. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With only a few simple ingredients leftover turkey can be transformed into something the whole crowd will enjoy.
For the healthy crowd, turkey makes a wonderful substitute in Chili’s, Soups and Salads. If you want something with a little more kick try Enchilada or Thai Curry. For a milder option how about Au gratin Potato Casserole, pasta or combine lots of leftovers on a hoagie roll for a huge feast of a sandwich.
Turkey is a great substitute in any recipe that calls for Chicken and most that call for Beef. Consider changing out the flavor for a new one. Transforming your leftovers can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.
Thai Curry Turkey:
3 Cups chopped cooked Turkey
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Sweet Onion
1 clove chopped garlic
10oz Coconut Milk
1 Tablespoon Curry Paste (use to taste)
Handful of basil (Thai basil if you can find it)
Chop the vegetables into bite sized pieces. Add a little oil to a large skilled and combine the vegetables. Cook for 3 minutes then add turkey. Continue cooking for 3 more minutes. Combine curry paste and coconut milk in a bowl and slowly pour into the skillet. Cook for 3-5 more minutes. Add the basil and turn off the heat. Let the mix sit for a minute or two before serving. Best with rice!
Enjoy the feast!
