what i do with turkey leftovers

[cupala75401]

I make turkey enchiladas with them i take the turkey and shred it up and mix it with melted velveeta mexican cheese i heat up tortillas and then i mix a container of sour cream with the turkey and cheese mixture....i put some in each tortilla and roll them up and then i put leftover mixture over the tops of the tortillas and add a few cans of ranch styled beans and shredded 4blend fiesta cheese on top of this and bake till cheese melts and serve it with spanish rice
it is a tradition to do this now......

My aunt used to take her dressing (stuffing) leftovers, add a little more broth, maybe an egg, and make them into patties. Then she would fry them in a little oil.

They are like dressing croquettes. You could even add a little leftover turkey and top them with some turkey gravy, for a main dish. SO GOOD!

Turkey Croquettes is great to make with left over turkey, here is a recipe. Le me know if you like them! You can also fry these up in a deep fryer, but make sure you place them in the fridge for a bit. Personally I watch what I eat so instead of using the butter, I drizzle olive oil and bake them. The white sauce is good, but I normally use turkey gravy!

CROQUETTE WHITE SAUCE
Did you know a few twirls of a rotary beater give a smooth finishing touch to White Sauce?

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup flour
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 egg, beaten


Melt butter in saucepan over low heat, add flour in 2 portions, blending until smooth. Add milk gradually stirring constantly to keep smooth. Continue stirring until sauce boils, then simmer 5 min[utes]. Stir in seasonings. Remove from heat and beat in the egg, then cook and stir another 2 min[utes]. [Makes a]bout 2 cups.

Hint: Cool White Sauce by covering and setting saucepan in cold water. Change water occasionally and stir sauce frequently to prevent "skin" or film from forming [on the sauce].
