What am I going to do with all of this turkey?

You can just substitute turkety meat in all of your meat dishs. It is actually agood way to get rid of it.

Turkey salad sandwiches, turkey soup, chili with turkey in it.

Have an after thanksgiving leftover party. I know I always can find friends who don’t have leftovers to come over and eat mine!!

Turkey hash! Chopped onions, chopped potatoes, maybe a clove of garlic, some thyme, a little sage, cook it in a pan until it forms a crust, then use a spatula to mix it up, and then rebrown, continue until almost everything is starting to become crisp and golden, then add a little half and half, turn the heat down and cook until it forms a dark crust on the bottom. flip the whole thing onto a platter. Delicious, and good looking, and satisfying and reheatable. Some people like to throw some stuffing in the hash as it’s cooking. Yummity!(tm)

As long as you have tons of gravy to go with the turkey and you’re not on a diet, hot turkey sandwiches, my favorite!!!

I have frozen it for probably a could of months, tastes fine in soups or stew type meals, not so good just thawed and eaten as is.

@pdworkin, grind the meat? or chop, or shred, or what?

send it to me! gobble gobble

Just roughly chop. Like the consistency of good, homemade corned beef hash.

chop it up, mix it with stuffing and mashed potatoes.. form little patties, lightly flour them.. and fry them up! YUM.

@poofandmook That sounds DELICIOUS! I have to go make it right now!

Just stuff it.

@pdworkin You don’t need to trademark “Yummity” – no-one else wants it. :-)

I like to make turkey pot pie. Cooked turkey added to a white sauce or cream of mushroom soup, boiled carrots, mushroom, onions and peas. Put in a hommade savory pastry crust or a bought one. You can freeze it unbaked or bake it and eat it or freeze it.

Also, hot open faced turkey sandwiches.

I second turkey salad sandwhiches. I just had one and it was delicious!

Yummity™ has been the intellectual property of P. L. Dworkin since 1985, and everyone tries to steal it all the time.

what are you @janbb, snide?

Snidely Whiplash, a votre service.

I’d sure take it. We didn’t have hardly any leftovers. :-(

Since several people have said turkey sandwiches (which I love) I will suggest soup.

Turkey pot pies. Oops, didn’t read all the answers before I answered.

I forgot turkey carcass soup. My mom used to save all the bones, scraps and the carcass itself. Throw it into a big pot with water and boil it for a couple of hours. She would also put in onion, celery and whatever to flavor the stock. Then she would take out all the bones and chuck in whatever was left over so it ended up being a sort of turkey veg soup. It was always great!

@RedPowerLady reminded me when she said soup.

Turkey and cranberry sandwiches…yummy!

Barbecue Pulled-Turkey Sandwiches

Monte Cristo Sandwiches

More Monte Cristo Sandwiches

We’re making melts tomorrow. Turkey, bacon, Montery Jack, avocado… I forget what else, but you can put a good deal you can do with added ingredients that make it less like a turkey overload and more of a taste adventure. :)

Another vote for soup here.

Make sure you use the carcass for making stock. Ten times better then the store shit and ten times healthier for you.

I vote to freeze some of it. One day of left-overs is enough when it comes to turkey. Unfreeze it in a week and make something very unrelated to thanksgiving like turkey stir fry.

How about you give some to the less fortunate?

@PretentiousArtist I like the thought of that, but will a homeless shelter or soup kitchen take half of a cooked turkey?

Usually shelters and kitchens won’t take cooked food, because they can’t be sure it’s safe to eat, if it was cooked thoroughly and properly, etc.

Turkey quesadillas! Add a little Sazon, onions, and shredded cheese.

So… the turkey melts weren’t that great. But the Monte Cristos are known to be awesome!
