Dark meat became ala king and white meat was for sandwiches with mayo & lettuce on white bread.

Our favorite to prepare with leftover turkey.

Always made my post-T'day turkey sandwiches with the home-made butter crescent rolls my mom made. The turkey was better stuffed inside those rolls than it was stuffed and on the table.

Sandwich hell


Until there's nothing left but;





Then.....soup

All I roast is the turkey breast and I just keep eating that until it's gone but when I used to buy a whole turkey I would use the bones and the leftover meat for soup.

My favorite was always a skillet filled with leftover turkey, a layer of gravy, and a layer of stuffing heated until bubbly with plenty of ice-cold cranberry sauce on the side.

These days I settle for a turkey sandwich with crisp bacon, tomato, plenty of mayo, and cracked black pepper on toast.

Turkey, rice and lemon soup.
And lotsa left over turkey, stuffing and gravy, and fresh made cranberry relish.
Sandwiches.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I make everything from turkey sandwiches, to turkey chow-mien, to turkey soup, and everything in-between.

I agree. For me, the two things I like about Thanksgiving meals is a turkey sandwich and the leftover dressing. Pre Covid, we used to make the dressing in a 10 gallon tub with 4 boxes of Mrs. Cubbinsons

The classic sandwich the next day. Turkey, lettuce, Hellman's mayo, salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Stuffing on the side.

I won't eat turkey on the third day. It tastes funny. But even if it didn't have that strange taste I'm sick of it, so anything remaining goes out.

The two days after thanksgiving is just a repeat of the holiday dinner. I seem to enjoy it better the second day. We use paper plates and everything goes on the kitchen counter and we all fill our plates. I don't even heat it up. We each heat our own in the microwave.
That way it doesn't dry out or lose flavor from being heated over and over..
Then I cube the rest for various casseroles and freeze. I make broth from the bones, and freeze that for soup to use at a later date. Might be a little left for a sandwich or two for the hubby.
