Category: TurkeyKathi MacNaughton @ 3:34 pm

This recipe came in through my monthly recipe contest submission page. It’s a delicious way to use some of that leftover turkey from your Thanksgiving or other holiday meals. I tried it and it’s great! Hope you enjoy it…

Turkey Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
1 bag creamy wild rice soup mix
1 cup leftover turkey, shredded or cut in small chunks
1 cup broccoli, chopped
6 to 8 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken or turkey broth
Directions:
Get the soup going, according to package directions. Add the veggies as you get them chopped (no need to cook them first). Cook for around 20 minutes till rice is cooked and veggies are tender. Yumm!

Turkey Leftover Recipes – What Do You Do with Thanksgiving Leftovers?

Category: TurkeyKathi MacNaughton @ 4:50 pm

Looking for turkey leftover recipes? Wondering what to do with all that leftover turkey?

turkey recipe contest using turkey leftover recipesAhh… Thanksgiving turkey dinner… is there anything better? Turkey galore, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole… the list goes on and on, depending on what your holiday traditions might be. But, depending on how many people you cook for on the holiday and how big a bird you decidedĀ  to roast, you might have a lot of leftover turkey.

In my family, we always had a few days of turkey sandwiches for lunch and hot turkey sandwiches (with gravy) for dinner, but after a couple of days of that you might be looking for new ways to cook the turkey before it spoils.

You’ll find a couple of turkey leftover recipes on my main website:

But I am actively soliciting new turkey leftover recipes too. What are your favorite recipes using leftover turkey? In the months of November and December, I’m running a contest (with prizes!) for the best leftover turkey recipes contributed by my readers. See this page for details on the recipe contest… I hope you’ll enter!

To all my readers… HAPPY, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
