Turkey Leftovers

[kayb]

My favorite use for turkey breast is on a sandwich, spread with curry spread (a mix of mayo, chili sauce, Worcestershire, curry powder, assorted other spices). On white bread.

 

Small bits and the dark meat will go into a pot pie, tetrazzini, maybe turkey spaghetti, maybe turkey noodle soup.

I love a plain old cold turkey, mayo, S&P, lettuce on white bread sandwich, but this was my dinner last night and is my favorite sandwich in the world:

Hot turkey, dressing, and gravy on white bread.  My gravy was a little thin this year, but tasted great.

Perfection!

Thank you, so do I! I bought it several years ago from the potter who made it. It has a matching lid, too. She called it a soup bowl and said she made it specifically to be used in the microwave.

Love it too - I was just going to ask about microwave.

Didn't cook a turkey, so can a chicken sneak in here as Thanksgiving leftover?    -> chicken with chive dumplings.    Carcass stock, kiss of heavy cream, cubed dark and light meat, ethereal dumplings using self-rising flour, grated frozen butter, chives, water.   Easy-peasy yet absolutely delicious.

After one turkey sandwich I'm done. The carcass goes into the pot.

 

@Margaret Pilgrimit's hard not to want an ethereal dumpling. How do you make them?

Miss the carcass for stock the most. I always volunteered if at another person's house - to remove the useable meat for them, and "unburden" them of the carcass.  Always got a vigorous yes! As to dumplings - I am not in the ethereal camp. I do like to keep matzo ball mix on hand and lean towards a firmer ball. Great in that turkey broth.

SO easy, and one of my first adventures with self-rising flour.

 

Grate 75gr frozen butter

into   150gr self-rising flour

Add several tablespoons chopped chives (or herb of your choice, or horseradish)

Moisten with two tablespoons water, adding more in order to form a light dough.

Gently form into balls and float onto liquid/meats.

Cook covered for about 15 minutes, about 10 more uncovered.
