Turkey salad? My bf cooked a huge turkey for Thanksgiving?!


Question: Turkey salad!? My bf cooked a huge turkey for Thanksgiving!?
We actually had our Thanksgiving yesterday because that was when we could get all our friends together at once!. Most people preferred the white meat but I still have a lot of that and dark meat left!. I need to do something with it!. I was thinking I could just chop up the rest and add mayo and celery!. The same way I make chicken salad!. Does anyone have any better ideas than this!? Www@FoodAQ@Com

you could make lots of different things: turkey tetrazzini, turkey enchiladas, turkey tacos, turkey nachos , turkey pot pie, turkey ala king, (really anything that you would use chicken in)!. If the turkey was that big and you have lots of leftovers, I would definitely freeze some in smaller portion bags so when you have a busy day, you can just thaw out some of the turkey and make any of the above in no time at all! Have fun with it!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Open faced turkey sandwiches with leftover mashed potatoes and gravy!.
Cold turkey sandwiches!.
Make pot pies!.
Chop up the dark meat and add to gravy and pour over cooked waffles!.
Make TV dinners from the leftovers and freeze them!.
Freeze the turkey for another meal and another time!.
Your turkey salad sounds good too!.

Make sure you add onion and garlic!.
Soup is the most efficient method of extracting nutrition from the leftovers and it allows you to dispose of the veggie platter and mashed potatoes at the same time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Kelly A, you seem to be abreast of the situation no pun intended!. Just remember the rest of the carcass you can boil down and make stock for further recipe's and soups, and with winter on us, noodle soup for those sniffles always go down good!.
