What is the best way of using leftover turkey from Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner?

I like it best in a sandwich with mayonnaise.

But there is a mixture I make with all the leftovers.... cut up turkey, stuffing, gravy.... mix them all together and serve on a bed of hot noodles.

Cook up the turkey bones into a soup broth, strain out the bones, and put all the little bits of meat in there with the veggies...

turkey sandwiches for supper or put it in the fridge and have some cold turkey with abit of salad or you could just bang it in a stew pot with loads of fresh veggies and potatos and a cassorole mix and let it cook in the Oven to make a delicious meal or make a home made soup if ya make a cassorole ya could always put left overs in containers and freeze them so you got some left over ready made frozen meals just a thought ;)

Italian bread, mayo, thick tomato slices and turkey with a dash of salt and pepper.

I truly eat this till the carcass is picked clean.

Turkey in a Pastry Shell

Puff pastry shells or individual pie shells---baked

2-3 Tbsp. butter

½ c. chopped bell pepper

½ c. chopped celery

2 cups cooked turkey or chicken

2. Tbsp. flour

1 cup chicken broth

½ cup toasted slivered almonds

1 small jar pimentos, drained

2 hard boiled eggs, chopped

1-1½ cups sour cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Saute bell pepper and celery in butter until tender. Add meat and pimentos. Sprinkle flour on top of mixture and stir around for about a minute. Add broth gradually. The mixture shouldn't be too soupy, the flour should thicken it. Add the eggs and the almonds.

The last step is to stir in the sour cream and heat gently until heated through. Serve in pastry shells or puff pastry. This recipe can be made in bulk and made ahead of time. Heat slowly adding the sour cream when ready to serve. The filling can be reheated, but the sour cream can separate so don't plan on reheating for company if you've added the sour cream. (OR, serve w/ dollop of sour cream on each individual servings)

Just substitute the turkey for chicken.

Like turkey noodle soup, turkey salad chicken and bbq turkey sandwhich.

Make up all leftovers into sandwiches and deliver them to the homeless in the park.

[bonus answer: wrap them in tinfoil and observe which homeless save the tinfoil, and then hire them. The ones who throw the tinfoil away are not worth your trouble.]

hot turkey sandwich( with stuffing, cran sauce and gravy) on toast or pot pie. i often just freeze the meat and cook the bones and connective tissue in the crock pot with salt and veggies to make super awesome stock. ive got to admit the hot turkey sandwich is my favorite.
