One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. And leftover turkey can provide the most challenges. Even if the turkey is perfectly cooked, leftovers can be dry. These seven recipes transform that meat into some pretty spectacular main dishes.
1. Updated Turkey Mornay
Linda Larsen
Turkey is reheated in a cheesy and creamy sauce, served over toasted English muffins with a cool tomato and basil topping. Yum.
2. Turkey Pesto Casserole
Linda Larsen
Fresh vegetable combine with turkey and pesto in a creamy sauce. This casserole recipe is hearty, yet updated. I love the combination of textures and flavors.
3. Turkey Tetrazzini
Linda Larsen
Mushrooms and tomatoes add texture and flavor to this simple one dish meal. You can use fresh tomatoes, or drained canned diced tomatoes; whatever is easier.
4. Turkey Club Pizza
Linda Larsen
This pizza with a twist is rich and flavorful. It tastes like a club sandwich, but it's easier to eat and I think has more flavor.
5. Santa Fe Turkey
Linda Larsen
This excellent casserole is spicy and super easy to make. Just layer turkey (instead of the chicken) with salsas, black beans, tortillas, and taco sauce and bake until bubbly.
