What's your plan to use up leftover turkey

[RainDropsStorm]

If you have any turkey left, what's your plans for it? Any tips/recipes you would like to share?

Dh has just made me crusty french bread with butter, cranberry sauce and turkey. I still have loads of turkey left. Bought a Tesco serves 13 turkey for me,dh and dd. I really don't want it to get wasted.

Curry.

Sandwiches, lots of them
Curry
Turkey and Ham Pie

We are having a second Xmas dinner today and I've made a big pot of Turkey broth.

Turkey and ham pie

Mine has all gone in the freezer in portions. Will use other leftovers first.

I portion everything up - turkey, gravy, potatoes and veggies and freeze for pie fillings
I then use the bones to make stock for soups
Turkey sandwiches as well for today or tomorrow

We are not a fan of curry so wouldn't make that.

Oh turkey and ham pie sounds right up dh street. Sounds a lovely winters night dinner.

Turkey broth sounds amazing, good comfort food. Is it easy to make?

I didn't know that you could freeze Turkey

Thanks so much for all these great ideas

I've a turkey, ham and leek pie in the oven with roasties and honey carrots.

I bought a big breast roll, almost £30 and nobody liked it.

No idea what to do as no one wants to eat it. Feel awful binning it.

Sliced, with salad and baked potatoes.
Pie.
Creamy curry (very mild recipe).
Sandwiches / filled baguettes.

Then we will freeze the rest ready-chopped for curries / pies / ‘meat in sauce’ type dishes (anything we would usually use chicken in) aiming to eat it once a week as it’s not so good after long freezing.

My husband always has a turkey bhuna on boxing day, so will make 2 portions and freeze one.
Will make some into pies ( turkey and leek and turkey and mushroom). And DD and boyfriend are coming to stay tomorrow, so will have turkey and, stuffing and cranberry quesadillas.

In Delia Smith's Christmas book there is a recipe for Turkey en Croute...basically a posh pasty! It is simple to make and bloody lovely! I make it every year.

We usually have curry but no turkey this year

I always make this www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/turkey-recipes/turkey-and-sweet-leek-pie/

Sometimes swap the bacon for leftover roast ham

Sometimes just freeze the leftover turkey & ham and make it later in January- or use the mix to make 2 smaller pies and freeze one. Always delicious

So far: turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, and several rather bloated-looking cats. 😂

Tomorrow we will move on to turkey and ham pie, then curry, and with whatever we still have left, I might carve some and put it in the freezer for a scratch roast dinner in a few weeks' time, and the furry marauders will get another helping of scraps.

Sandwiches with a moist maker obviously.
We're having them for dinner with proper homemade chips.

I have stripped the carcass and put the bones in a big pot with water, a halved onion, carrot, bay and peppercorns. It’s simmering away now. I’ll use the broth as a basis for soup or stocks for risotto etc. I’ll freeze in takeaway containers or freezer zip locks in portions. Carved the rest for buffet and sandwiches and if left a curry in a couple of days.

I make this with a mix of the turkey and veg. It is absolutely delicious.

@festivetinseling the cats are loving Christmas 🤣

@TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening what's a moist maker?

@SorrowsPrayers will have a look at Delia.

@Defiantlynot41 thanks for the jamie link. I watched his Christmas programme the other night. Everything looks so yummy.

@mrsbyers what did you have instead of turkey?

@Frenchyq25 enjoy!

@squeekyturkey I am jealous, sounds fab. Enjoy!

@Vhrukn could you donate it?

@cantkeepawayforever thanks for the freezing tip.

@Ahnobother that looks lush. Thank you.

@43ontherocksporfavor thanks for your tips.

Have a feeling that we will be fed up of turkey by next week 🤣

Did you have guests that didn't come?

It's a lot of turkey 😂 but we always do the same (we love turkey sarnies though and x5 of use have them daily until we run out!)
