Suggestions for Your Leftover Holiday Turkey
We didn't offer any suggestions for Thanksgiving dinner in the last column, primarily because we have not made anything remotely traditional for the past several years. Most families have numerous holiday meal traditions already in place, so we have chosen to focus instead, on some ideas for the leftover turkey. The crepes are excellent and can be completely assembled hours before serving. With the addition of a salad, they provide an easy dinner (especially if the crepes are made ahead and frozen).
We've also included two salads and a sandwich - the Oriental salad is quick and very tasty. If desired, other ingredients can be substituted for the fruit. The Yukon Gold Turkey Salad is similar to a traditional potato salad with the addition of turkey. We've enjoyed the Turkey Reuben (a take-off on the traditional Reuben) on numerous occasions and recommend it as a good disguise for leftover turkey.
