Leftovers?
Everybody makes turkey pot pie and turkey noodle soup.
How about turkey enchiladas? Just shred the meat, toss it with some enchilada sauce, roll it in tortillas, cover with more enchilada sauce (and soy cheese, if you want) and bake. Serve with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped avocado, and your favorite salsa.
Have you had sweet potato ravioli? Saute some onions in a very little bit of olive oil. When they’re about done, drop in some rubbed sage, and leftover pureed sweet potatoes or squash. Use wonton wrappers to make ravioli – fill with about 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons filling, fold on the diagonal, and seal with water. Drop in boiling salted water to cook. Serve with a sauce of sauteed onions and mushrooms, a little turkey broth, an d thickened with a little leftover gravy. (Not so good if you caramelized your sweet potatoes, or baked them with marshmallows… use those to make more pie!)
Or make the ravioli with leftover mashed potatoes and sauteed onions (and maybe chopped spinach?) and call them pierogi. These are fried in a little Earth Balance and then you can top them with leftover gravy.
Make turkey fried rice with leftover turkey and vegetables. All it takes is some cooked brown rice and a couple of eggs. Amp up the veg content with any vegetables in your fridge. Season with garlic and ginger, and top with tamari or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos.
Put leftover cranberry sauce into your fruit smoothie. Delish! Or serve it on coconut ice cream (we love this stuff, but it’s really sweet, so don’t overdo it). We also like leftover cranberry sauce stirred into vanilla yogurt – about 1 Tablespoon for a 4 oz serving of yogurt.
And if you have leftover pie? Bring it to a someone who didn’t get leftovers.
