Work is giving me two small turkeys, its gonna be too much for my family and they dont really like dark meat. So I may not even get it out and just go ahead and make something to freeze with the dark meat. ANY suggestions.

Was thinking turkey pot pie Soup.

I already have some gumbo in the freezer, would have probably done that if not.

I love cooking a tetrazinni with leftover turkey. I may enjoy it more than the holiday bird.
Emeril Lagasse has a great recipe.

Never made or had tetrazinni i don't think... may have to do that. Or that and something else if there is enough.

I too love tetrazzini more than the plain roasted turkey.
We usually do turkey gumbo, or turkey salad (the finely chopped, pasty kind that's almost the texture of pate), but I like the idea of turkey pot pie.

Cooked dark meat freezes with decent results, esp if you use the defrosted meat in soups/stews.

Nothing like leftover turkey sandwiches. Just add mayo, black pepper, and cold turkey and you've got yourself a meal!

I was thinking just straight turkey pot pie. MD's recent chicken pot pie thread has me fiending for one. I'm probably going to try to prepare and freeze some single serving pies with the leftover bird this year.

Turkey Tetrazzini.


1 1/2 pounds turkey - I used white meat, but whatever you have is fine.
2 cups Turkey or chicken broth
black pepper
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 Small onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium jar Pimento
1 cup mushrooms, sliced and sautéed
1/2 stick of butter
16 ounces pasta - vermicelli or spaghetti water and salt to boil
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 can tomatoes - use whole tomatoes with tomato juice and crush them when adding
salt and black pepper to taste. May take a teaspoon of salt when mixing ingredients before baking1.
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seed to top casserole.

Cook turkey with two stalks celery and two teaspoons black pepper in two cups of broth.

When cooked, remove from broth and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.

Chop onions and peppers. Mince garlic. Sauté in half stick of butter.

When vegetables are tender, add pimento and mushrooms and continue cooking for a few minutes.

After cooking the vegetables for a few minutes, mix the vermicelli, crushed tomatoes with juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, vegetables, chicken and cheese. Add to a Pam sprayed casserole dish. This makes a large casserole dish.

Sprinkle poppy seed over dish and cook covered in foil at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, until bubbly.

Eat with buttered crusty bread.
