Once we come down from our holiday high (from Tryptophan), we need not only ways to get our next fix – but to fix up the rest of the fixin’s. We’ve found the best ways to make leftover turkey taste so good there won’t be any left over.
Leftovers Shepherd’s Pie
Why yes, Martha, Turkey-Poblano Tostadas do sound good – but we don’t always have leftover tortillas, do we? We do, however, have the makings for this Shepherd’s Pie –and that’s a good thing.

Turkey Vegetable Chowder
We like a recipe that starts with, “This creamy chowder can be made with whatever you happen to have hanging around your refrigerator.”

Turkey Nachos
It’s exactly what you think it is -- and it’s so good that you’ll be saying “They’re mine – not yo’s”.

Hot Brown Special
OK, we mostly chose this one because “Hot Brown Special” makes us snicker – but then we read the recipe, got to the bacon and cheese part, and well, we’d totally eat this vintage Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwich recipe.

Turkey Stew Over Potato Cakes
BAM! And another BAM! Emeril uses leftover turkey and the leftover spuds in a meal that hits us below the belt (the one we loosened after the first holiday dinner).

Turkey Frittata
While we’re a little unclear on the difference between frittata and quiche, we are clear that we may be ready to have turkey leftovers as soon as breakfast the next day.
