Ultimate Leftover Turkey Sandwich
Contributed by: NAPSA
From sandwiches to pizza and salad, leftover Thanksgiving turkey (and stuffing) can make any meal memorable. (NAPSA) - When it comes to family and the holidays, you want to serve the best. However, for many people, the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers-particularly the turkey and stuffing.
Savory turkey sandwiches and the aroma of stuffing being heated evoke mouthwatering memories. With a little ingenuity-and proper storage-these holiday staples can go a long way.
Store cubed, cooked turkey in one- or two-cup amounts in zipper-style plastic freezer bags; press air out before sealing. Label with amount and date, and freeze for up to a month. When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave.
With these serving ideas, you won't even recognize leftovers because they taste so fabulous.
- Add chopped turkey to your favorite pasta dishes.
- Turkey Grilled Cheese-Add turkey slices and honey mustard to your next grilled cheese sandwich. Serve with a side of stuffing.
- Turkey Pizza-Top your frozen pizza with chopped turkey before baking.
- Turkey Caesar Salad-Toss together cooked turkey, salad greens and Caesar dressing. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
