we do 3 things...
#1--chunk it, and combine with a can of cream of celery soup, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1/2 c. sour cream and 4oz shredded cheddar cheese. We also add lots of fresh mushrooms and chopped onions.
Pour into a casserole dish. Mix your favorite biscuit recipe (do not knead or roll it) and add 4 oz cheddar cheese and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to it and spoon the dough on top of the casserole.
Bake at 375 until the biscuits are done. Serve by spooning a portion of biscuit onto the plate and smothering in turkey mixture.
(My Mom has made this every holiday season for over 50 years... and the neighbors have dubbed it "Turkey Marilyn"! LOL!) We usually serve it with either leftover cranberries or a fruit salad.
#2-- This works well with ANY leftover meat!
chop 3 cups of leftover meat into a large saucepan. add enough chicken or Turkey broth to almost cover it. Add 1 package of Chili seasonings. Simmer on low for aprox. 1hour or until the broth evaporates, stirring often. Serve on warm tortillas with shredded cheese, refried beans, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes & onion, and sour cream!!
#3--Fry Up some potato's with chopped bacon, onions, peppers, mushrooms--whatever you like. When the potato's are nearly done, add a bunch of chopped-up turkey and finish cooking.
Serve with leftover gravy on top, or- as we ate it in Germany,, with 2 fried eggs and freshly made onion croutons on top ( gravy optional--they called it a Farmers Breakfast and used chicken, but turkey works well!)
There are hundreds of things to do with it--- and if you had a huge bird and small family, it'll go a long way...
unfortunately, our 22lb bird only lasted 3 days--- seems everyone here was eating sandwiches 2x a day, not to mention 2 turkey dinners out of it!!
