Incredibly Delicious Recipes For Thanksgiving Leftovers!
Tired of the same old turkey sandwich and turkey soup the day after or a few days
after Thanksgiving?
So are we, so step out of your comfort zone and make these 4 delicious recipes
using leftover turkey.
The Recipes:
a) Turkey Paninis-
Yes, it’s a sandwich, but a Cuban sandwich.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of mayonnaise
3 Tbs. of sun-dried tomato pesto*
4 grinder or ciabatta rolls, split
2 cups of sliced cooked turkey, white meat or choose both
4 oz. of cheese, choose the cheese you prefer, or Fontina, sliced
2 whole tomatoes, sliced
1 cup of fresh basil leaves
* Tomato pesto- can’t find it? Go to youtube.com and type tomato
pesto recipe in the search bar, or make your own pesto using basil
To make:
In a bowl, mix the mayo and pesto. Spread over one side of the rolls.
Top bottom half with turkey, cheese, tomato slices and basil, place the
other half of the rolls on top. Heat in a skillet or a panini press until
lightly browned and cheese is melted, about 4 to 5 mins.
If using a skillet, turn the sandwich over and brown the other side.
Calories per panini- 580, Carbs-44g Prot-34g
b) Turkey Pot Pie-
If making a turkey pot pie causes you to break out in a sweat,
relax and use this simple recipe.
Ingredients:
1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 can of chicken broth, or (use leftover turkey broth)
1/4 cup of flour- white or wheat
2 Tbs. of Dijon mustard
2 cups of turkey, diced
1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables, take out when ready
to use them
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. of black sesame seeds (optional)
To make:
Heat oven to 400*F. Roll pastry to 12″ square. Cut out
4 (6″) rounds; chill in the fridge. Place 4 (8 oz.) ovenproof
bowls on a baking sheet. In a pot, whisk the broth and mustard
until warm and then toss in the flour. Continue stirring until
thick, about 2 mins. Add the turkey and vegetables and then
pour into the bowls. Add the pastry on top and brush with the
beaten egg; add the sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown,
about 20 mins.
Important tip: If you plan on having more than one guest, just
fill a whole pastry puff (or pie crust).

c) Turkey and Avocado Salad-
Depending on what part of the country you’re in, you can find
avocados for under $1.50 apiece, so stock up on them and
make this healthy salad.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
3 Tbs. of fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. of smoked paprika
2 cups of torn lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg)
2 cups of cooked turkey, sliced or cubed
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into cubes
6 radishes, quartered
2 hard-boiled eggs, cut into cubes
1/3 cup of shredded Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese
To make:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, lemon juice, paprika
and salt 1/4 tsp. In a separate bowl, add the next 5 ingredients.
Divide salad evenly among 3 or 4 plates; and sprinkle some
cheese on top. Serve as is or with your favorite dressing.
Calories per salad- 450, Prot-27g, Carbs-10g.
d) Coconut Curry Turkey Rice Soup-
Yes, it’s soup, but it’s a type of soup that one can find in Vietnam,
Malaysia or Thailand.
Ingredients:
1 small onion, finely diced
1 can of unsweetened light coconut milk
2 cups of shredded leftover turkey
1 red pepper, cut into 3/4″ pieces
1/3 cup of uncooked rice (make sure to rinse the rice a few times
to remove the extra starch)
1 Tbs. of curry powder
2 cups of spinach, regular or baby (chopped)
To make:
Coat a pot with cooking spray; turn on the heat to medium;
cook the onion until softened, 4 to 5 mins. Add the next five
ingredients, 2 cups of water and 1/4 tsp. of salt. Bring to a boil;
reduce the heat to low. Cover; cook until rice is tender, 13 to 15
mins. Add the spinach and cook for another min. or two.
And if you desire, add some cilantro and lime juice for an
even more exotic taste.
Calories per bowl-250, Carbs-24g. Prot-22g.
Fun Fact:
Yes, turkey is usually served once or twice a year,
but if staying cold and flu-free is a goal you’re hoping to
achieve, buy a few turkeys, cut them up and place them in
your freezer. Why?
They boost your immune levels. Leave out the extras,
(gravy, mashed potatoes, rolls and Mac & Cheese)
and eat it (turkey) with greens or other vegetables
and you can cut your risk of getting sick in half and
if you should get sick-you can speed up the healing
process by 65%.
