Left-over turkey recipes?

Recommended Posts

By virtue of getting a bird all to myself, I have WAY more turkey than I'll use in sammiches. Anyone have any good suggestions for other uses?

Blues,
Dave



Slice some and freeze it for sammiches another time and use the carcass to make soup now.

Dorito Casserole

2-3 pounds turkey (or chicken) cooked and cut into bite size pieces
1 can chicken broth (or equivalent amount of turkey broth)
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes with green chilies
1 bag Taco or Nacho Doritos
8 oz Velveeta cheese, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
ground red pepper (to taste) (optional)

Crush the Doritos. It is most entertaining to do this while walking through the store as you are grocery shopping. It seems to get the attention of some of the employees and fellow shoppers. It also gives you an opportunity to fuck with the cashier as you check out. "Oh wait, I didn't realize those were all crushed. Can I get a different bag?" You have to make sure you don't pop the bag as you are crushing the chips, otherwise this is harder to pull off convincingly.

Mix all the ingredients together, except for about 1/4 of the Doritos. Put those aside, out of sight of other people, otherwise they won't be there when you need to use them.

Place mixture, which will look pretty gross at this stage, in a 13" X 9" casserole dish / cake pan. Place in a 350 degree oven. Cook until bubbly in the center. Remove, and stir to mix the cheese in better. Add remaining Doritos to top surface of the mixture. Place back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Enjoy. It's pretty tasty.

Variations:

Can be made on the stove top in a pot without the Doritos, and can then be served over rice.

If you are cooking for kids, or trying not to cook for leeching roommates, you can make it with guacamole Doritos. It then turns out green, and very gross looking, without much affecting the flavor, especially if you add red pepper.
