I just put a turkey pot pie in the oven. I used all the leftover turkey, the leftover corn and the leftover gravy.
Tomorrow I am going to use the leftover mashed potatoes to make "Potato Croquettes", it is a Paula Deen recipe that I saw her make on the food network yesterday morning.
The will take care of our leftovers.....

I always do Hot Brown Sandwiches (not brown at all but very good) and Turkey with Sauerkraut. What do you do?
We did NOT have turkey. I know it's wrong but many here won't eat turkey so I opted for a beef brisket and ham.
Leftover beef brisket will be this weeks chili.
Leftover ham will go in vegetables and broccoli cheese soup.
Leftover cornbread dressing will make a nice stuffing for pork chops.

I got the turkey carcass so it will be Turkey Noodle Soup again!
A couple of years ago, I used the left overs to make a Turkey Tetrazzini.
That was good! It's a creamy casserole with chunks of turkey and noodles.
Recipe:
1 can chicken broth
¼ c. flour
¼ c. butter- melted
1 c. half and half (I used non fat). If you want it ultra rich, you can use whipping cream. Or, if you want it real light, you can use milk.
1 c. parmesan cheese
2 c. frozen peas- thawed
1 (soup can size) canned mushrooms
3 c. cooked, chopped turkey
Pepper (to taste)- about ¼ teaspon
1 package fettuccini noodles- cooked
Bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flour into the broth. Add remaining ingredients up to the fettuccini noodles. Mix.
Spray a casserole dish with Pam- or butter the dish. Spread a little bit of the wet mixture into the dish. Place the noodles in the dish and then pour the remaining wet mixture over the noodles.
Cook for 40-45 minutes. If it is still real watery- pop back in oven for another 5-10 minutes.
Sprinkle bread crumbs over the casserole and return to oven for another 5 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden.
Let sit for 10 minutes or so.
Enjoy!
You can play with this recipe a lot- I saw some that had green peppers, pimentos. Some that used other kinds of cheese- like cheddar or mozzarella.

I got a small bag of turkey from my mom. I made us turkey salad sandwiches today. I don't know what I'll do with the rest.
Pioneer Woman also has a Turkey Tettrazini recipe on her blog.

3 to 4 day for turkey in the Refrig
Be thinking of putting your leftovers in the freezer today or tomorrow.
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Fact_Sheets/Lets_Talk_Turkey/index.asp
"Storing Your Leftovers
Discard any turkey, stuffing, and gravy left out at room temperature longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F.
Divide leftovers into smaller portions. Refrigerate or freeze in covered shallow containers for quicker cooling.
Use refrigerated turkey, stuffing, and gravy within 3 to 4 days.
If freezing leftovers, use within 2 to 6 months for best quality."

We didn't have any turkey left, but we have ham. Sandwiches will finish it off tomorrow night after church. The bone will be good in beans next week. We had burgers tonight.
This year we just got a small turkey which was dinner for seven and two days of sandwiches for three.
In the past I have made:
Turkey Tetrazini
Southwest Soup
Green Chile Turkey Enchiladas
Turkey Noodle Soup
Turkey Pot Pie
Turkey Bacon Wraps
Turkey Waldorf Salad

My turkey noodle soup was off the hook!
The broth needed some work but I got it to what I wanted.
Containers are filled and are in the freezer!
Won't that be nice to pull out on a cold winter night in January!

Thought I should bump this up since it's now leftover time. Remember turkey does not last long in the refrig. So use it or freeze it, including the gravy.
The one bad thing about eating out on Thanksgiving is - no leftovers. I do miss those! I love some turkey soup. Maybe I will make a small turkey breast for the family soon so I can make soup from the leftovers.
We'll, I sent plates of leftovers home with N and our guest. Today, I made turkey ala king. Next up is to cook the drippings and carcass to make turkey vegetable soup. That is so good with a cold day.
