76 Delicious Ways to Devour your Leftover Turkey

November 27, 2016 in Kitchen

I love a turkey dinner, and I love turkey leftovers even more. I got to host Thanksgiving this year, and Chuck and I searched through 2 freezer cases for the biggest turkey we could find. So we are overflowing with fabulous leftovers.

But let’s get real here. You can only have turkey with a side of mashed potatoes and stuffing so many times before you’re sick of it. So I went searching for the best ways to use up my turkey leftovers, and now I’m worried I’ll run out of leftovers before I get to try it all!

Since this treasure hunt of mine took some time, I wanted to save you from having to do the search on your own. So here are 76 leftover turkey recipes that look good enough to eat.

It would take forever to find this many great turkey recipes. Now I know exactly what to make with my leftover turkey!

Click through to the second page to see them all! And if you had a Thanksgiving ham, be sure to check out my 91 ways to make leftover ham amazing again.

6-pasta-salads


I am on the hunt for a fabulous and super simple pasta salad. Naturally, I turned to Pinterest, and I found so many amazing pasta salad recipes I want to try.

To keep things simple in our Simple BBQ menu, I stuck to a few guidelines.

  1. No more than 5-10 ingredients
  2. No more than 3-5 cooking steps
  3. Entire prep time cannot exceed 20-30 minutes

 

With those guidelines in mind, here are six simple salad recipes that would go perfectly with our Simple BBQ menu.

Continuing with our Simple BBQ menu, today we’re moving on to fruit side dishes. Fruit is pretty much my favorite food ever.

And bread.

And chocolate.

Okay, I just love food. But fruit is really high on the list.

I love a fruit tray with a great dip. Homemade whipped cream is my go-to fruit dip. I mean really, is there anything better than ripe strawberries with fresh whipped cream? I think not.

I also love the super simple dip that is just yogurt and whipped cream mixed in whatever portions give you exactly the flavor you like.

I have one more super simple dip that is a regular on my fruit tray. In fact, my kiddos know I love it so much, they made it for my Mother’s Day breakfast. They know me so well. yum

This one was inspired by a recipe from Six Sisters Stuff, but I tweaked it a bit and I love it even more now. It’s like taking your favorite PB & J and turning it into dessert.

pby-fruit-dip


PB & Y Fruit Dip

  • 1 part peanut butter
  • 2 parts strawberry yogurt

Mix. Serve with fruit. Eat. Seriously, that’s all there is to it.

You can make as much or as little as you want. Measure out your peanut butter and then use twice as much yogurt. If you have really healthy peanut butter or yogurt with no sugar, you may need to add a little something for sweetness. I used sugary peanut butter and yogurt, so it’s plenty sweet just like this. And so, so yummy.

I love it best on bananas and strawberries, but try it on your favorite fruit and see how you like it!

Don’t you love how easy this menu is turning out to be? If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my Easiest Ever Grilled Chicken marinade and Creamy Corn Salad.

This week I am sharing a Simple BBQ Menu with you. Yesterday, we started with a fabulous main dish – my Easiest Ever Grilled Chicken marinade. So easy and delish!

Today we’re moving on to a veggie side dish: Creamy Corn Salad. When I look at this salad now, I honestly wonder why I ever tried it in the first place. It is kind of an odd combination of ingredients… But I am so glad I did!

The combination is inspired and absolutely delicious! It’s simple to put together, requires NO cooking, and goes great with yesterday’s grilled chicken.

creamy-corn-salad

Creamy Corn Salad

  • 1 can corn, drained or 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 Tb green onions
  • 1/4 c mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp dill weed

Just mix it all together, serve, and enjoy! Of course, if you use frozen corn, you will want to defrost it first. Unless you like little corn popsicles…

I know it sounds weird, but just trust me and try it. You’ll be glad you did!
