Don't forget the often maligned, but under-appreciated Turkey Croquettes. When done correctly, they are a treat.

That is a nice lineup of leftover creations. I tend to plop some stuffing, potatoes, gravy and turkey on wheat bread and chow down on a sandwich despite my intentions to do something different with all the "overstock."

Tomorrow we are having some of my husband's family and friends over for brunch. I intend to get rid of the rest of the the thanksgiving feast.
We ran back to Wegman's this afternoon for more potatoes and gravy making supplies. I think by 1 pm tomorrow it will all be gone. At least I hope so.

Home made Turkey Pot Pie with Betty Crockers Origional Homemade bisquits on top....I am in heaven..
Turkey chunks, dark meat is great
Left over dressing, potatoes,
Steamed potatoes, sweet french carrots, haricot verts,
Diced red pepper
10 ounces frozen petite peas
Saute sweet onion or shallots, until soft add sliced chantrelles, or button mushrooms add 3 T flour thicken cook, then add 1 can evaporated (it makes the right consistency) milk, left over poultry gravy, or chicken broth, and a little cream. Put all in a large greased ovenproof casserole I prefer those thick white ceramic oval or rectange, type 2 inches depth at least. Bake in 400o oven when pipin hot add homemade bisquits bake 12-15 additional minutes until done, and you are a happy camper, The best eating for a cold winter night with a nice friend and wine.
I claim this as prairie food, from the Ranch in Nebraska in the 50's.
I make this also with hind quarter baked chicken legs and thighs it is a delicious inexpensive meal, they are the most under utilized bargin protein. Shelie the dietitian

i never get a chance to make thanksgiving leftover dishes. i'm too excited about repeating the meal of the day before, so i just plop down a bunch of leftovers on a plate, and put it in the microwave.
who needs a new dish when the stuff you made for thanksgiving was so delightful all on it's own?
now that the fridge is finally empty of leftovers, i don't know what to do!
