I like the soup better than the turkey itself. To make the broth, I use a pressure cooker, and put the bones and left over carcass, including bits of stuffing in. Crack the bones with an pair of adjustable pliers before putting them in the pressure cooker. Gets more of the marrow into the broth which adds to the flavor.

This article missed where the flavor is — as well as half the nutritional value: the naked carcass. Take the bones, break the big ones with a pair of pliers; if you like, throw in leek or carrot, yellow onions, celery, and herbs of your choice, then put the lot in a crock pot and simmer slowly for a day. Taste it, then let your imagination run wild. It’s the stock for filling out a gravy, it’s the base for soup, it freezes indefinitely without harm, and it’s GOOD!

The song (sung to My Country ’tis of Thee) at the top of this post is a family tradition, particularly at Thanksgiving. I’m surprised to see it anywhere else.

Just used leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and green beans to make Thanksgiving Sushi. The potatoes had to be thick enough to hold the sushi roll together, and I used gravy and cranberry sauce as side dips. It was a fantastic success!

Turkey BBQ!!! Also works with leftover ham if that’s what you do for the holidays. Ham bbq is great and nobody thinks it will be delicious when they hear about it…

Put some turkey or thinly sliced ham bits in a little nonstick pot, heat it til it breaks down and crisps a little, throw some bbq sauce in and you’ve got yumminess that goes with beer. Homebrew all the way.

Im sorry to say we planned TOO well this year. We had enough bird for lunch and for sandwiches at supper time and it was gone. I miss my leftovers!

Turkey a la King has to be one of the easiest and best ways to use that left-over bird. Just a few cans of soup, a cup of chopped onion, and some puff pastry and you have yourself a hearty thanksgiving remix.

I enjoy mixing leftover turkey with clove and citrus then wrapped in a bow to make pomanders. I love putting them under my friends Christmas trees and watching their delightful expressions come Christmas morning.

We had duck rather than turkey. Our Friday leftovers featured duck meat sliders.
