I like to make rice, heat up leftover turkey in the gravy, and then eat it over the rice.
Total comfort food. We make our gravy from scratch and it's soooo good. The rice is basically just a gravy carrier. haha!

I like to make shepherd’s pie with turkey instead of ground beef. I pre- cook the carrots a little before putting them in the casserole. I have a meal ready to cook in the freezer.

This says Chicken, but we make it after cooking a turkey. You can use either the stuff you made/had or use the box kind. It is yummy.
Chicken Casserole 1 12-14 oz bag of Pepperidge Farm Stuffing Mix (Choose to your liking from several varieties.) 1 Cup Water or Chicken Broth 1 / 2 Cube Melted Butter/Margarine Mix together and set aside.
2 1 / 2 - 4 Cups Cooked Chicken (Deboned & cubed.) Some people like a more meaty casserole, so use your discretion on the amount of meat. 1 / 2 Cup Chopped Onion 1 / 4 Cup Chopped Green Onion Tops 1 / 2Cup Mayonnaise/Miracle Whip 1 / 2 tsp Salt Some people add a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables for variety. Mix together and set aside.
2 Eggs 1 / 2 Cup Milk 1 Can of Cream of Mushroom Soup May also use to your liking Cream of Celery or Cream of Chicken Soup. 1 / 2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Or any other cheese of your choice.)
Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Spread 1 / 2 stuffing mixture in bottom of baking dish. Slightly pat in place, but do not press hard. Spread chicken mixture over stuffing. Spread the remaining 1 / 2 of the stuffing mixture over the chicken mixture, again patting in place, but not firmly. Beat the 2 eggs and 1 / 2 Cup of milk together and pour evenly over stuffing. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours. (Can be refrigerated up to 2 days.) Spread undiluted soup over top of stuffing. Bake at 350⁰ for 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle Cheese over top and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let sit 10-15 minutes before serving. Feeds 6-12 people depending on size of squares served and additional menu items included in the meal.

DS loves Panera chicken and wild rice soup so I’m using leftover turkey to make a copycat recipe. I’ll be making frittata with my leftover vegetables.

My son took every single leftover we had, besides a leg which my dad took. We had a 15 lb. turkey for 4 of us and he took all that leftover meat, mashed potatoes, stuffing, broccoli bake and rolls. I think he will enjoy it much more than we would have!

White chili, enchiladas, omelettes, tacos or burritos, turkey spaghetti or fettuccine with white sauce. Most of these are for the turkey but the rest but we usually don’t have those for more than a meal or two.

My favorite thing to make the day after Thanksgiving is Turkey Devonshire Sandwiches. Some parts of the country call them Hot Brown Sandwiches but I’m a Pittsburgh girl so it’s a Devonshire. Basically a cheese sauce, leftover turkey, crispy bacon, tomato slices and lightly toasted hearty bread. All layered in individual dishes, heated and then placed u dear the broiler for a few minutes to make the top lightly golden.

I make turkey cranberry salad (like chicken salad). I chop white turkey meat, add dried cranberries, chopped celery, chopped pecans, lots of mayo, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and lots of black pepper. I eat it on a mix of baby greens.
ETA: I really don’t like turkey—especially leftover. But I like this. I think it’s the copious amounts of mayo I drench it in.

Stromboli. I stuff all of the leftovers into Pillsbury crescent and/or pizza dough. We just finished it. My kids love it and my son just said "This is a great Black Friday tradition!"

We usually make up leftover containers with turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing until we run out of the mashed potatoes and stuffing. After that I usually make some pot pie filling and/or Turkey a la King and freeze the mixtures. If I freeze the turkey meat by itself I almost never use it so I try to make things I can freeze.

The best basic casserole ever. In the square casserole dish put half stuffing and half mashed potatoes. Layer turkey slices on top. Cover with gravy. Bake for 45 minutes at 375.
We will also make turkey etouffee and turkey stock.

So I didn't have a turkey this year, I ended up getting a chicken pot pie instead, it was easier and where I have pneumonia I didn't want to have to deal with cooking just for me.
Anyhoo....when I do have leftovers, I heat the turkey up in a pan with gravy. I make stuffing patties and mashed potatoes patties and heat them up in gravy as well. DH taught me that and I love it.
