What are your favorite options for leftover turkey?

We made a turkey for New Years Day. Believe it or not our friends weren't turkied out because they'd had ham for Christmas. We got a huge bird right after Christmas on sale, and we didn't come close to eating all of it. I have several pounds of leftover roast turkey.

What are your favorite things to do with leftover turkey? Brownie points for good recipes or for recipes you've actually made!

Thanksgiving Friday Pie.

You put a layer of leftover dressing (or stuffing, if you're in a region where it's called that) at the bottom of a pie plate or pan or pot or what-have-you (my folks use a dutch oven), then pour gravy over it, and top that with turkey, then top it with pie crust. Bake until done at whatever normal temperature you'd use for a pot pie until it's done. Mmmm.

If you still have the carcass, you can do turkey stock and soup. You trim most of the meat off of the turkey's frame, then cover in water, add some veggies for flavor, and boil the stuffing out of it (figuratively) for several hours.

Strain it, and pick out any of the usable turkey bits from the carcass that didn't come off the bone. Then toss the bones. Salt and pepper the broth, then divide some of it to freeze for later.

To make the turkey soup: add back into the broth some freshly chopped veggies and the reserved turkey and even a bit more turkey.

Two other quick and dirty comfort foods are:

Turkey stroganoff.
Chop about a pound of leftover turkey into fairly small pieces. and boil a package of egg nooodles. While noodles are cooking, Put turkey, in frying pan with a chopped onion and a touch of oil. Cook over low-medium heat until onion is tender and turkey starts to brown, about 10 mintues. 16 oz sour cream container, 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of canned mushrooms, several good shakes of Worcestershire, a squeeze or two of ketchup. Heat, stirring, until it's all cooked through. Throw in half a small bag of frozen peas, stirring until the peas are cooked through. Serve over rice.

Turkey broccoli bake
Same chopped turkey, same sour cream and can of cream of mushroom, but this time you add a head of broccoli, chopped, a cup of cheddar cheese, and 2 cups of rice. Also add some milk, basically use the soup can to measure out your milk. Mix this all in a bowl, then pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top and Bake, covered at 350 for 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes. When rice is tender, it's done.

They are not fancy, and they are not original, but they are warming, filling and very much pablum comfort foods.

We get bored with it, so we do something different with it every day. Our final lick at it usually is putting it all in a pan with some onions, green peppers, random seasonings, and an egg white, basically just mixed up and fried.

Turkey sandwiches are always good. If you have them in your area, there's a kind of spiced green and red peppers branded "Wickles" (wicked pickles), which go particularly well in a turkey sandwich with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and whatever else you enjoy.

You could also take the carcass and make turkey soup (assuming you've still got it and not just the meat).

Stew in a slow-cooker. Yum yum.

http://www.freequickrecipes.com/recipes/crock-pot-turkey-stew.php

The recipe calls for boneless turkeys, but if the meat's still on the bones don't bother with it, just leave it there - it adds flavor and beomes to tender that it'll probably fall right off anyway.

For myself, I'd skip do the Worcestershire sauce, use cilantro instead of parsley, and add some garlic.
