Got leftover turkey? Try Making Sour Cream Enchiladas

Mmm…turkey and all our favorite sides — can’t wait for Thanksgiving dinner! Of course, then there is the inevitable leftover turkey.

My kids will eat only so many turkey sandwiches, but they love these sour cream turkey enchiladas.  This easy-to-make casserole will feed your family for a couple of days and it also freezes well.

Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey (this is a good way to use up a lot of dark meat!)

Leftover Turkey Recipes: Turkey Croquettes

These turkey croquettes are a delicious way to reboot leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I served them with an Avocado dipping sauce (homemade guacamole) and sauteed Asparagus. They make a great meal or snack and will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days– if they last long enough that is!

Love Thanksgiving Leftovers but Tired of the Same Old Turkey Recipes?

Leftover turkey is almost as popular in my house as the Thanksgiving feast itself! Are you tired of the standard leftover turkey recipes yet? In our house, we tend to cook turkey several times a year, just so we can eat leftovers. My mother-in-law is famous for her Turkey Curry, in fact on every summer vacation, we beg to cook a turkey just so she will make curry the next day.

While I love curry, I also like soup and my husband loves hot turkey sandwiches the next day. So, I searched the internet to find many recipes for leftover turkey. I am only sharing 12 with you here, but each of these links will lead you to dozens of additional ideas for leftover turkey. I tried to pick the very best ones with the best reviews or that I thought were creative, different and easy. Who wants to spend a whole other day in the kitchen? I usually wait until Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving to make the stock and either soup or curry.

Here is Nanny’s turkey curry “recipe.” The truth is she doesn’t have a recipe. These are just guidelines. The secret is to cook the bones for as long as possible to create a rich stock and to use a good quality curry powder (or make your own.) We usually get a pot of soup and a pot of turkey from the leftovers, which we means we stretch our grocery dollars and get to eat great food for several days.
