Cornbread stuffing is hands-down my absolute favorite kind of stuffing, and I think it goes well with just about any kind of meat you could possibly want to serve it with. (Or as I’ve been known to do, top it with a fried egg and serve it with a big salad and call it a meal, no roast chicken required.)...
Turkey Vegetable Hash
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving…spending time with loved ones, eating their fill of good food, and being thankful for life’s blessings, big and small. And now, Happy Black Friday, all!...
Meals in Minutes — Smoky Turkey Quesadilla with Raw Salsa (And a $65 CSN Giveaway!)
The season for slow cookers and dutch ovens is almost upon us. In an effort to relish the last bit of warm weather, Mike and I recently had a barbeque and grilled a whole turkey. (Which was an endeavor in and of itself, but was so worth it in the end when we were rewarded with tender, juicy meat with a subtly smoky flavor.) Anyway, after everyone had eaten their fill we were left with as much leftover turkey as we normally have after Thanksgiving dinner, so I knew I had to get creative with different ways to use it. In this quesadilla, I used […]...
Turkey Bolognese
Bolognese sauce, or ragù alla bolognese, is a full-bodied meat sauce originally from Bologna, Italy. Traditionally this sauce contains “beef, pancetta, onions, carrots, celery, tomato paste, meat broth, wine, and (optionally) milk or cream.” (You can read more about bolognese sauce here.) I based this recipe on Emeril Lagasse’s Spaghetti Bolognese, altering it to make it a little healthier and to accommodate ingredients that I normally keep in my pantry and/or fridge. Instead of pancetta I use turkey bacon, which gives it a nice, slightly smoky background flavor without the added fat of pancetta; then I use ground turkey to pair with the turkey bacon. […]...
Easy Turkey Wellington
When it refers to a recipe, the term “Wellington” usually refers to dishes in which beef, salmon, turkey, or another meat is coated with pâté de foie gras and duxelles (duxelles is a mixture of minced mushrooms, shallots, and herbs that have been cooked in butter) and then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. Sadly, this is no such dish. I had the idea that this year I wanted to make Turkey Wellington with some turkey breast slices leftover from Thanksgiving dinner; on Thanksgiving I meant to save a few intact slices of turkey breast to make it. In my haste to clean up after […]...
Leftover Turkey Dinner Pizza
Eid Mubarak! I want to wish everyone a very happy Eid al-Adha! I’ve been excited to make this pizza ever since Natasha announced her 5 Star Makeover Challenge to create a dish with Thanksgiving leftovers! For this pizza, you can mix and match any leftovers that you’ve got on hand. I used shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, and green beans, then after baking I topped it with cranberry chutney. If you’ve got sweet potatoes or yams that were cooked in a sauce, just make sure to pat them dry as much as possible so you don’t end up with a watery pizza. Or you […]...
Turkey Croquettes
This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and although croquettes might sound complicated, these are really just shallow-fried patties made from cooked, shredded turkey and a few vegetables and seasonings. What a way to dress up leftovers!...
Roasted Acorn Squash with Maple-Sausage and Egg Filling
This dish is the perfect accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner, or paired with salad greens that are dressed with Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette, it’s the perfect meal (especially brunch!). For the full recipe, see here....
Turkey-Vegetable Meatball Bombers
Depending on where you’re from, you might know this type of sandwich as something other than a bomber, such as a submarine (or sub for short), hoagie, hero, blimpie, grinder, or po-boy. Anyway, it doesn’t matter since a meatball sandwich by another other name would taste as delicious! These sandwiches are picky-eater pleasers…my husband (who typically will only touch a steak sub) actually loved these meatballs…of course he wanted his bomber without cheese, but at least he was eating turkey-veggie meatballs! (Yes, for some reason my hubby is able to consume slimy green soup without any qualms, but he has a problem when it comes to cheese…go […]...
Turkey-Sausage and White Bean Jambalaya
For a fun fusion recipe, this dish is a cross between Louisiana Cajun/Creole jambalaya and Spanish beans and rice. Turkey sausage and beans are used instead of the jambalaya mix of chicken/seafood/andouille sausage (I would love to use andouille but I don’t know of any brand that doesn’t contain pork…anyone who knows of a pork-free andouille product, please let me know!). Other than this dish being delicious and healthy, it’s great to make because it’s a one-pot meal that feeds a crowd. Turkey-Sausage and White Bean Jambalaya (Yield: 12-15 servings) 2 TB olive oil, divided 14 oz turkey sausage, cut into […]...
