Posted by Megan Baugh on Wed, Nov 25, 2009 @ 07:58 AM
One of the best parts about a holiday is all the food! Trying out new dishes, surprising the in-laws with your talent, and the opportunity to make new meals with the leftovers! Here are two ways to use your leftovers: Leftover Turkey Pot Pie and Turkey Sandwiches with Feta Mayo.
Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
- Leftover turkey, cut into bite-size pieces
- Leftover gravy
- Leftover vegetables (can use any cooked vegetables or raw vegetables from a veggie tray, you may want to cook raw veggies a little)
- Leftover mashed potatoes
Add the first three ingredients into an appropriated sized oven-safe dish for your amount of leftovers. Top with mashed potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees until heated through.
Serve with any leftover salads and/or bread! It's like a whole different meal!
Turkey Sandwiches with Avocado and Feta Mayo
Feta Mayo:
Sandwiches:
- 2 large ripe avocados
- Juice of 1 lime
- 8 slices of sprouted bread
- 4 lettuce leaves
- Turkey leftovers
- Tomato slices
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- Sea salt (optional)
- Coarsely ground black pepper (optional)
Stir all mayo ingredients together in a small bowl.
Spread mayo on the bread slices. Layer all other ingredients, season with sea salt and pepper (if desired), top with remaining bread. Enjoy!
