Couple Ideas of what to do with your left over turkey!




Smokey Turkey Quesadillas

Simple, quick, easy and delicious–just the way cooking’s supposed to be. (Prep 10 minutes, Cook 10 Minutes, Serves 4 – 6)
2 Cups Leftover Turkey, chopped
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder
4 Tablespoons Butter, separated
4 Large Flour Tortillas
4 Cups Pepper-Jack Cheese, grated
Sour Cream and Salsa, to serve
Combine the first three ingredients into a bowl and mix until evenly combined; set aside. Meanwhile, melt a tablespoon of butter at a time into a non-stick skillet. When butter has melted, add one tortilla into the pan. Arrange ½ cup chopped turkey, and 1 cup of cheese onto one side of the tortilla. Using tongs or a spatula, carefully fold over the other side of the tortilla to cover the ingredients. Allow the tortilla to cook and slightly brown on one side, flip and repeat on the other side. Remove from pan, cut into even wedges, and serve with sour cream and salsa. Repeat process for remaining ingredients.

"Bake an old-fashioned pot pie filled with turkey and vegetables in your trusty old cast-iron skillet. "
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
3 cups cubed cooked turkey
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of potato
soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken
soup
1/2 (10.75 ounce) can water
2 (15 ounce) cans mixed vegetables,
drained
salt and pepper to taste


  
 
Directions
  1. Whisk together the flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Drizzle the ice water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, over the mixture and gently work the water into the dough with your fingers. Add more water as needed until you can gather the dough together in a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. In a saucepan, mix together the turkey, onion, cream of potato soup, cream of chicken soup, water, and mixed vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat and allow to simmer while you prepare the crust.
  4. Cut the dough in almost equal halves. Roll the larger piece into a circle on a floured work surface and fit into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Roll out the smaller piece into a circle to fit the top. Pour the hot turkey filling into the bottom crust. Place top crust over the filling, crimp the two crusts together with a fork, and cut several slits in the top with a sharp knife.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
