Leftover Turkey? Try These Slow-Cooking Favorites
As Thanksgiving looms on the horizon, we contemplate not only what method we will use to cook our holiday turkeys, but what we'll do with the inevitable leftovers. If you are not in the mood to eat cold turkey sandwiches for the weeks following the big day, consider some of these slow-cooking favorites.
Slow-Cooking Favorites for Your Leftover Turkey:
A little heat in the mouth can warm the entire body. To that end, try this Family-Pleasing Turkey Chili recipe from Taste of Home. Since your turkey is already cooked, you'll be able to skip the first step, bringing down your prep time considerably. This is one of the best uses of leftover turkey.
For the more sensitive taste buds, we recommend Crock Pot Italian Turkey Meatballs. Whether you serve your meatballs over pasta or with a large slab of crusty Italian bread, you're sure to have a dinner success while simultaneously cutting down on the amount of leftovers in the fridge.
We all know the hearty, soul-reviving warmth of Chicken Noodle Soup. Given the amount of turkey you are likely to have leftover, however, it is time to try Old-Fashioned Turkey Noodle Soup. Since this recipe calls for the entire leftover turkey carcass, make sure you plan ahead on carving day and set it aside for later use.
