I love leftovers! Aside from the fact that part of the work is done, you can recreate them and make a whole new dish. Below are two of my favorite ways to use up that Thanksgiving turkey.
Cranberry Turkey or Chicken Casserole
4 cups cooked bow-tie pasta
2 cups cooked diced turkey or chicken
2 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
1 cup dried cranberries, plus extra for garnish
2/3 cup pine nuts or slivered almonds, plus extra for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a baking dish, combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Bake 30 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with dried cranberries and pine nuts or slivered almonds.
Layered Turkey Enchiladas
1 pound cooked turkey or chicken, shredded
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Cream of Chicken Soup
6 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, combine turkey, green chiles, and Cream of Chicken Soup. Mix well. In lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of turkey mixture. Arrange 3 tortillas over top. Spread 1/2 of remaining turkey mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over top. Arrange 3 tortillas over cheese. Spread remaining turkey mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese over top. Bake 45 minutes or until cheese starts to brown. Makes 6 servings.
Note: If you like your enchiladas to be spicy, swap out one or both of the cans of green chile for diced Jalapeno peppers.
