Turkey Delight to Last a Fortnight

You bought too much turkey and now you have leftovers.  Don't despair!  I'm here to help with some delicious recipes that my family enjoys.  You will notice that my recipes don't have amounts to measure for everything, I just put in what I feel like and you can do the same.  You're welcome.

Turkey and Wild Rice Soup:

2-3 cups diced turkey

3-5 cups of cooked wild rice

carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms

vegetable broth (a box or two maybe)

white pepper

garlic

1/2-1 cup dry sherry

Saute your vegetables in butter and then add everything into a larger pot or crockpot.  I serve it with buns plump enough for Sir Mix-a-Lot.

Turkey Stuffing Roll-Ups:

16 slices leftover or deli turkey

gravy

stuffing

corn (or whatever leftover vegetables you have)

Mix the stuffing and vegetables together.  Grease a 9x13 baking dish.  If you are using deli turkey, measure a half cup or so of your mixture and roll it up in the turkey slice.  If you are using leftover turkey, layer the turkey and the mixture in the dish.  Pour gravy over the top and cover the dish.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.  My kids really like this meal and I hope your family does too.

Turkey Pot, Turkey Pot, Turkey Pot Pie:

2-2 1/2 cups diced turkey

2-3 cans of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup

sauteed onions and mushrooms

a small bag of mixed vegetables

white pepper, thyme, parsley, garlic

4 pie crusts

This recipe makes two pies and you need two pie dishes.   Put one pie crust on the bottom of each pie dish. Mix all of your ingredients together and fill your pies.  Add the second pie crust on top of each pie.  There will be overlapping crust, so fold it in and roll it at the same time.  You should end up with a lovely rolled edge around the pie.  Cover the rolled edge with foil to prevent burning and poke a few slits in the flat part of the pie before baking.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.  You can cover and freeze the second pie but do NOT bake it first.  To make the frozen pie, let it thaw in the fridge for 24 hours and then bake.
