    I like to take leftover dressing and press it in the bottom and sides of a pie pan like a crust,then fill it up with a mixture of turkey,gravy,peas,carrots,or other leftover veggies,top with slices of American or Cheddar cheese and pop it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.It is yummy!!

    RE: what is your favourite turkey leftover recipe?
    This is one way I often use leftover turkey. I've done the same recipe with beef and chicken as well.

    Oven Stroganoff

    1 can (10 oz.) sliced mushrooms,with juice
    1 can (10 oz.) condensed cream of mushroom soup
    2 cups sour cream
    3 cups water
    1/4 cup dry onion flakes (or 1 small onion, chopped)
    1-2 tbsps. chicken or beef bouillon powder
    2 tsp. parsley flakes
    1/4 tsp. paprika
    1 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. pepper

    2 tbsps. cornstarch
    1/2 cup water

    4 cups(approx.) cooked chicken or beef, cut into bite-sized pieces

    Combine first 10 ingredients in large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce to simmer. Mix cornstarch into water and stir into simmering sauce until thickened. Add cut chicken or beef and stir to combine. Pour into large casserole dish and bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes. Serve over hot cooked pasta or rice.

    I usually use half-fat soup, light sour cream and omit the salt when I make this. Also I use hungarian paprika for a bit more flavour.

    We have always enjoyed this. No creamed soups in this.

    Sweet 'n Sour Chicken or Turkey

    2 c green pepper, sliced
    2 c celery, cut diagonally
    2 c onions, chopped
    2 Tbsp veg oil
    1 (14 oz) can pineapple tidbits,
    drained, save juice and add water to make 2 c
    5 Tbsp cornstarch
    2/3 c brown sugar
    1/3 c vinegar
    1/4 c soya sauce

    4 c cooked chicken or turkey, bite size

    1. Saute veggies in oil until tender crisp. Remove from pan.

    2. Combine drained pineapple juice, water, cornstarch, sugar, vinegar and soya sauce in med-large sauce pan. Cook stirring constantly, until sauce clears and thickens.

    3 Add drained tidbits, veggies and meat. Heat through.

    4. Serve over hot rice.


    I will look for turkey pieces to cook when I run out of turkey leftovers.
