Calling all leftover recipes!

Georgie

Maybe I just missed it, but I'm surprised to see there haven't been a flurry of recipes for Thanksgiving leftovers yet. I hope to acquire lots of ideas and wisdom here so come one, come all! Turkey chili? Turkey pizza? Turkey stuffed ABT's? Help me out folks![p]Here's one the Mrs. surprised me with this morning. It was actually REALLY delicious - especially with the smokey flavor the egg gave the turkey:[p]Thanksgiving Leftover Omelet
Mix in turkey breast meat, mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and (here's what really surprised me) mashed potatoes and stuffing! It was delicious!

Georgie,[p]OK, this is not an egg recipe, but could easily be adapted to the egg. I prefer the broiler. This is a great sandwich for leftover turkey breast, which tends to dry when re-heated:[p]I give you, the Hot Brown:[p]INGREDIENTS:
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 slices white bread, toasted
• 6 ounces roast turkey, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 strips fully cooked bacon[p]PREPARATION:
Sauce: In a medium saucepan melt margarine or butter. Stir in flour and pepper. Add milk all at once.
Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Gradually stir some of the hot mixture into beaten egg yolk. Return all of the egg and sauce mixture to the saucepan.
Cook and stir until the sauce just starts to bubble again. Remove from heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the slices of toast in a single layer on the unheated rack of a broil pan. Top with sliced turkey, some sauce, and the 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 3 minutes or until the sauce is hot and bubbly. For each serving, place one toast and turkey portion on a serving plate. Top each serving with two slices of cooked bacon. Serve hot.

Hope you are better buddy, [p]In anticipation of lots of turkey leftovers, I did a trial run on white chili last week and thought I would share. Happy Holidays![p]Chili, Chicken, Beans, White, Richard [p]Well decided to do a white chili chicken today. Did a 7# Spatchcock recently and had lots of breast meat left over. So with the kind contributions from: Wardster, Lenscamp, Borders & Paula Deen here is what got cooked. [p]

Fidel,
That is a KY dish. There are quite a few variations, most are good. We have actually cooked a breast, just to make hot browns!!
Another good leftover recipe is turkey carcus soup. May sound strange but don't knock it till you've tried it.
Put it in a large pot and cover with water, add salt & pepper, diced onion, celery, carrotts, ect. Whatever you have and like. Cook till it falls apart. Strain to remove the bones, tendons, ect. Add rice and heat till the rice is done. The rice will absorb some of the water and thicken it a bit.

Eggecutioner

Turkey and Black Bean Tostadas:[p]3-4 Oz Turkey (1/4 inch dice)
1/4 Cup Cooked Black Beans drained and rinsed
3-4 Tbsp fresh corn or thawed frozen corn (Roasted is even better!)
1 Small tomato diced (1/4 inch dice)
1 Lime (juiced)
1 Tbs Hot Sauce (to taste)
1/4 Cup Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
2 Flat Corn Tostada Shells
1/2 Cup Shredded Lettuce
1 Tbsp Snipped Chives[p]In A bowl combine:
Turkey, Balck Beans, Corn, Tomato, Lime Juice, Hot Sauce, and Cheese.
Let rest a few minuted for flavors to mingle.[p]Spread sourcream on Tostada shells. Top Each Shell with Turkey Mix, Lettuce, and Chives. Makes 2 tostadas [p]NOTE: I generally make a whole bunch more. I use the whole can of black beans, and then use that as my measuring guide. I have also learned that I use more corn than this calls for, because I like it![p]E

Fidel,
thanks for the suggestion.[p]i always wondered where the name came from. this gave a good reason to google it:[p]Chef Fred K. Schmidt at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, created The Hot Brown sandwich in 1926. In the 1920s, the Brown Hotel drew over 1,200 guests each evening for its dinner dance. The band would play until late, and when the band took bread, around midnight; people would retire to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Bored with the traditional ham and eggs, Chef Schmidt, delighted his guests by creating the Hot Brown.[p]

Richard Fl,[p]That chili sounds really good...[p]Seeing the Indian River Rainbow Pepper reminds me, we need some more of your pepper. Would you shoot me an email with some details of what you've got and how we can get some?[p]
Thanks,
Tonia
