What are some simple recipe ideas for leftover Thanksgiving turkey?!
Answers: After all the hot turkey sandwich's use the meat left for a turkey pot pie, saute onion and carrot and potato with butter add a bit of chicken stock and some cream when the veggies are tender and throw in some peas then cook to a boil and lower heat if not thick enough liquid add a bit of flour (first mixed with water)maybe a 1/4cup. or less-cook till it thickens then toss in turkey meat left overs and stir, prepare pastry for pie top and bottom crust, place bottom crust in pie pan, prick bottom crust then place place on cookie sheet and bake in hot 400 degree oven till barely brown about 8-10 min---remove from oven and pour turkey filling into pie shell, then cover with a top pastry, brush with butter, slit holes in crust. Lower oven heat to 350--- Place pies on cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for another 35 min. Next you can put the carcasss in a big soup kettle add 1/2 cup of pearl barley and add 2 cups water and 2 cups of chicken stock let it simmer for an hour-- Carefully take out the carcass (bones) strip off any meat that hasn't fallen off yet and keep it in the pot liquor- dispose of bones, let the broth with the meat and barley rest. Saute onions 1 cup and carrots 1/2 cup celery 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup turnip with 2 sticks of butter add a Tsp. of sugar, salt and pepper dash of thyme and rosemary saute till onions are translucent add the sauteed veggies to the broth bring to a boil,then simmer for 1 1/2 hrs. Add 1/4cup flour to 1/4 cup of cool water stir then add to liquid, take a cup of the left over stuffing and a cup of heavy cream, add to the soup- cook over low heat till well thickened, add chicken stock or water if too thick-- mixed and serve!
