What do you serve with your leftover Turkey on Boxing Day?

[immoreexcitedthanthekids]

Just wondered what everyone eats with their leftover Turkey on Boxing Day?

I don't mean turning it into a curry or pie. Just what you serve alongside the cold meat.

Salad and pickles or chutney
Chips
Bread and butter and salad (let them make their own sandwiches.

Christmas is a big meal, relax and leave it simple.

Bubble and squeak

Leftover roast potatoes, bread sauce and cranberry, green salad and an absolute winner - sliced fresh oranges arranged on a plate sprinkled with pomegranate pips and a little chopped mint and parsley

We put a plate of it out on the Boxing Day buffet, but the majority of it is chopped and frozen to go into a huge vat of turkey and mushroom soup (with puy lentils, lots of chives, four different kinds of mushrooms and the stock from the boiled carcass). We freeze it in portions and eat it for weeks. We also make broccoli and Stilton soup with the leftover cheeses, and pea and ham with leftover gammon. In January I bake various lovely breads and we eat a LOT of soup 😂

Bubble and squeak and/or Bread rolls
Salads
Pickles and mustard

When the kids were little I used to make turkey or ham fritters - chopped up meat mixed with leftover mash, shaped into small burger shapes and fried in oil or butter

We have left over turkey / ham / chipolatas with oven chips, salad, pickles / chutney etc. maybe a bit of french stick or garlic bread. Lunch time after a seaside walk. Followed up with some leftover Xmas day puddings then decamp to the sofa. Lush.

We always make a pie. My other favourites are using turkey as a chicken substitute in coronation chicken or Delia's chicken, grape and tarragon salad

I also love a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich!

Bubble and squeak, cheeses, piccalilli, pickled onions, pate and crackers all on the same plate, best meal of the Xmas period

We have a large cooked ham and other cold meats to go with the cold turkey, and a range of spectacular salads - its a tradition from my mother's parents and grandparents when they had a large number on Boxing Day. For salads I do a special potato salad, a winter slaw with lots of colour in it, including slices of mandarin, etc,, and a tomato salad. Lots of relishes etc. Followed by a large cheeseboard and fruit. If it was cold, would start with soup.

Christmas ham, homemade potato salad, pickles, chutneys, cheeses, crackers, grapes, crisps, dips. YUM!

Green salad, potato salad, tomato salad, ham joint, leftover snacks from Christmas Day, garlic bread and the biggest selection of salad dressings and table sauces you’ve seen in your life.

Beans, chips and pickled onions.

Warm
Part baked bread, lurpak, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pigs in blankets to make whatever sandwiches from that you like. Then I would do a bit of a nice buffet, mix of hot and cold, Salad, baked Camembert, potato wedges, pickles, pork pies, pickles, cheese and crackers, mini pizzas. Then we would have leftover leftovers the following day, all served cold this time and just help yourself from the fridge whenever you feel like it.

Ainsley's turkey biryani!

I made it last year and it was lush

Homemade pickles and chutneys, baked potatoes, salad with a mustard dressing and the marmalade-glazed ham.

We have the same dinner again on Boxing Day :)

I always cook enough veg and make enough good gravy to last two days then I make fresh roast potatoes and use a different stuffing

I` never really enjoy Christmas Day dinner , its been a long morning for me, I tend to have a few drinks as Im cooking and time I have had my starter , Im done. But Boxing Day dinner I LOVE, nuke the veg, air fry the roasties and Im ready for it :)

Next day its the bubble and squeak to finish up any veg , and we all love a pickled walnut and roasted beets

Then the last of the gammon is ham egg and chip dinner and the last of the turkey gets turned into Jaimie Leek and Turkey Pie which is so easy and so lovely it gets made a few times a year

We do one meal that is just Christmas lunch 2.0 to eat up all the leftovers and then the other is just cheese/biscuits/chocolate.

We have cold ham and turkey, any left over chipolatas, a huge mound of bubble and squeak, pickled cabbage, pickled onions, all the other pickles. And everyone always says "oh I love this dinner more than Christmas dinner". Mince pies for pudding.

Every year I buy salad things and nobody ever eats it. We usually have bubble and squeak made with leftover roast potatoes and veg. The Christmas pudding that we don’t ever get round to on Christmas Day for pudding, or trifle.

Christmas pudding always on Boxing Day here as well.

winter coleslaw - home made with vinegar and oil not mayonnaise - or with a thai style dressing and coriander, mint and basil.

And bubble and squeak from the leftovers.

What I really like though is a left over turkey dinner sandwich!
