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.

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
