Yummy 😋!!!

Here's another recipe that's great after having leftover turkey. Adding the turkey into a luscious bechamel sauce keeps the meat moist. This also utilizes more of your leftover veggies. A classic a la king uses onion but I had scallions. It also uses mushrooms but my husband is allergic to them. I added an extra bell pepper in place of them. You can serve this classically by itself, with toast points or over rice. One thing I like about this is I can make it using leftovers but then freeze it for later use.

This is my version of a recipe I saw somewhere once that was good for leftover turkey. I typically use a low-fat ground turkey the rest of the year when Thanksgiving leftovers are not to be had. You'll see I use egg whites or "egg beaters" egg substitute to reduce the fat. Serve with rice pilaf, roasted red potatoes or mashed potatoes. Freeze and reheat in a toaster oven for a quick meal another day. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs if you wish.

This turkey a la King is made from leftover Thanksgiving turkey and the leftover turkey gravy. It produces an incredibly flavorful a la King with a rich but lighter sauce because there is less cream. Straying from the traditional I added jalapeños and left out the peas since my husband will not eat them!

I make this stock every year before Thanksgiving. It is the foundation for my turkey gravy, stuffing and turkey soup the next day. Any leftover makes for unbeatable pot pies. It is worth every minute it takes for the flavor boost to gravy, stuffing and soup!

Take those turkey bones to the next level and make some excellent stock to use as the base in other dishes or make bone broth as a heath beverage.
