Are the turkey dinner leftover blues sinking in yet?
Try making these dishes with your leftovers from your latest Turkey or chicken dinner. You won’t be disappointed.
- Pulled turkey nachos- Shred turkey and mix it with BBQ sauce (I use Diana Sauce) and Sriracha chili paste. Place dry nacho chips on tin foil or parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Next layer veggies (I suggest onion, peppers, and olives) and then add grated cheese. Finally, add the top layer of shredded turkey. Broil/Convect in oven on 400 until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
- Turkey, spinach, cheese and asparagus quiche.
- Turkey and cheese quesadillas (or taquitos).
- Turkey chili- Replace ground beef with shredded turkey and make chili as normal. Add 1/2 cup milk or alternative in the last five minutes of cooking to give a creamier texture.
- Turkey melts (Make turkey salad with mayonnaise and leftover turkey and top a slice of bread with it. Add cranberry sauce and brie, roast in the oven until the brie melts. Serve hot.)
- Try making my mexican skillet for supper and substitute the chicken for turkey.
- Brussels sprouts and turkey au gratin- see below.
- Stuffing crusted quiche.
You can try to stir fry your leftover sprouts to make a new meal or you can try my turkey dinner leftover au gratin!

Brussels Sprouts Leftover Gratin is made in a glass casserole dish or pie plate with a base of chopped sprouts followed by a light dusting of grated parmesan cheese.
Step 2:
Top the sprouts with chopped turkey, diced onions and sprinkle with pepper.
Step 3:
Add an egg to the mashed potatoes and mix well, cover the turkey layer with the potato and egg mixture. Spread gently and evenly.
Step 4:
Score this layer so the layer of cheese can melt into the dish.
Step 5:
Top with grated cheese.
Step 6:
Top with green onions (and leftover ham if you have it). Bake at 350°F (convection) for 30 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling and golden.
