Turkey Leftovers

I was pondering turkey leftovers as my turkey soup was simmering on the stove. What do YOU do with the leftover turkey-day feast?

My standard fare after cooking any kind of poultry is, after most of the meat is removed, to put all the bones in a pot of water and simmer for several hours to make soup broth (I add onions, celery and garlic to the pot, too). Then strain all the solid stuff out of the broth, saving the bits and pieces of meat but discarding everything else. I set the broth on the counter to cool, and to get the fat to rise, then put in the refrigerator overnight so I can easily skim the fat off the top. If I have enough I'll freeze in ice cube trays and store in a plastic bag so I can take out whatever amount I want in the future.

Today I am making soup from some of the broth. I returned some of the meat to the strained broth and added chopped onion, carrot, celery and garlic. I'll simmer this for at least an hour and perhaps cook some gluten-free noodles in it to make turkey-noodle soup.

So, what do you make with leftover turkey, etc.?

Turkey pot pie. We make a couple of pies, and then also freeze some of the filling separately to make into pies later. Could also use it for a Turkey stew, chilli, shepherd's pie.

That is usually what I do also, sometimes I use rice instead of gluten-free noodles. Turkey pot pie is good also. This year there were so many that I only had four slices of turkey left!!!!!

What do we do with turkey leftovers?

Eat them! (Yes, as just turkey, and we have, oh, probably six pounds of turkey leftovers. :P)

Some things I've done in the past:

turkey soup

turkey enchiladas

salad with turkey

And something to try this year, later today:

Leftover Thanksgiving Sushi! :D

(no, I'm not kidding :) )

At first thought.... turkey pizza, ugh. Then when I read that there's no tomato sauce - it started to look really good. (Too bad I can't eat cheese, but, if I could, I'd give this one a try).

I have to cook so much more now that I'm on the gluten-free diet. I can't order takeout anymore. I am totally content to eat turkey for 4 days if it means I don't have to think about reading labels or cooking for 4 days!

Turkey tetrazzini! Make a white sauce (I forget what I substituted for flour last time, but lots of things will do) with a stick of margarine or butter and an equivalent to half a cup of flour, with a cup of chicken broth and a cup of milk. Season with 1t salt, 1/2t pepper, and 1/8t nutmeg. After it has thickened, turn off the heat and add 1/4c sherry and 3/4c heavy cream, but I usually just put a cup of cream or another cup of milk. Then saute 8oz of mushrooms in butter and add to the sauce. Cook 1 lb pasta (Tinkyada spaghetti style works great) and drain. Add half the sauce to the pasta and pour it into a buttered 9 x 13 casserole dish and make a well in the center. Cut up 2-3c of cooked chicken or turkey and mix with the remaining sauce, and pour that into the well in the center. Sprinkle liberally with grated Parmesan. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. When you scoop it out make sure everybody gets some of the meat from the center. If you use Tinkyada this also freezes well and makes awesome lunches. Okay, it's not low-cal, but it's yummy. Add a green salad. And you can leave out the mushrooms for the picky eaters. For me, this is the whole point of the Thanksgiving turkey.

I bet turkey is really cheap right now at the grocery stores :) I bought a butterball young turkey, called the company while in the store to guarantee gluten-free, and it was like, $1.05/lb...bet they're half off today!!

My favorite thing to do has always been just to have lots of "thanksgiving dinner" meals afterward...we've had about 3 in the last 2 days. Lots of potatoes and gravy, turkey, green beans and rolls. My food turned out so perfect! The only thing lacking were the rolls. I got frantic while baking everything so I just used a gluten-free pantry french bread mix. They're not bad, but more like busquits than rolls. Still quite yummy though, esp. loaded up with potatoes and gravy!

I was watching food network on wednesday, and a segment about cooking for two. She made cranberry turkey raviolies...they looked so good! I might try those out. Don't know...do storebought wonton paper thingys have gluten? anyone have a recipe? lol never tried to make ravioli before...

Hm, also, thought about making some soup w/ the bones, but I was unsure as to how to store them. I didn't want to do the baking Thursday night, so I thought of keeping the bones in the fridge. But then I didn't know if they would go bad, or make me sick or something, so I just threw them out :P Anyone got any advice for future references? Making that turkey was so easy, I think I'll have to do it again sometime soon.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
