1/2-3/4 pound pasta, cooked according to package directions

1/2 cup (8 T) butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
Stalk celery sliced
1/4 cup flour
1 T powdered chicken bullion
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup whipping cream
2 T dry sherry

3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup parmesan

Prepare pasta and place in large bowl. Mix in turkey. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

Using 4 T (1/4 cup) butter, saute mushrooms, onion and celery. Melt in remaining butter, add flour and seasoning (pepper, bullion and, if desired, a dash of nutmeg). Mix till smooth. Add both and cream. Cook till smooth and thick (about 5 minutes).

Add sherry and fold into pasta and turkey. Turn into the buttered dish.

LOL! That's the one I was gonna offer - Turkey Tetrazinni! Almost as much of a tradition as the Thanksgiving meal itself.

It is a great leftover dish!

I might use the shredded leftover chicken (Yes, chicken. Blasphemy! ) for omelettes.

Turkey Soup:

Use a large pot and drop in the turkey carcas. leave some of the meat on it and let it simmer for a few hours with one large onion, cut in half. remove bones.
add veggies to your liking.
potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans...ect. i toss in barley or rice and then use a bit more turkey meat. some times, the broth won't be 'tasty' enough so i'll add *gasp* chicken broth...rare but sometimes needed.


Turkey Curry:
cubed turkey meat
6 slices of thick bread
butter
broccoli
curry powder
cream of mushroom soup
rice

make double serving of rice, i like jasmine for this dish.

in a large bowl, mix soup with curry(a little or a lot up to you) and milk.
add turkey meat and broccoli. let sit.

in a large baking dish, spread the rice. evenly pour the curry mixture over it.

melt butter. dip cubed bread into butter and place on top of curry/turkey/broccoli mixture.

bake for 30 min at 350 and then broil the top so the bread crisps and browns.

(I have a terrific Mexican recipe - I'll find it and post it later. This is the stage of leftover turkey we will be at for a day or so, however.)

The only way I really like turkey is in a sandwich with cranberry sauce and sage and onion stuffing

Bwahahaha!!! I hadn't even thought of leftovers yet- still recovering from teh trauma of yesterday.

One of my kids' favorite dishes (And we make it with tuna, chicken, crab meat, shrimp, turkey- anythign but pork or beef) is "Fish'N Worms"

a cup of two of cubed turkey (or chicken, or a package of shrimp or crab meat, a can of tuna)
1 lb. tri-colored rotini, cooked and drained
half-cup (maybe a little more for turkey or chicken) Miracle Whip
frozen peas, half a cup or so
seasoning to taste

mix it all together and serve warm or refrigerated.
