Left - Over Turkey?

 

So you've had a wonderful Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner with a succulent roast turkey, and now you're wondering what to do with the leftovers, apart from using them for sandwiches.

Here are a few suggestions that might help. In substituting turkey in any of these recipes, do not grind the turkey meat as it spoils the texture and flavour - it is better to dice it or use it in chunks.
