I make tetrazzini sometimes (MUST have sherry involved) and a lot of the dishes already mentioned.<br /><br />Also love Mulligatawny Soup.(Kind of a curry) And, if we don't make the traditional Chicken and Sausage Gumbo for T'Day, when I have the turkey carcass left or gifted, I use it up for Turkey Gumbo. It's delish.Lynn in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624333137637840905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-73120703284340226242011-11-25T22:10:23.430-05:002011-11-25T22:10:23.430-05:00Maybe you could freeze the carcass until deliverin...Maybe you could freeze the carcass until delivering it to a soup kitchen where it could be put to good use.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66754352915010753162011-11-25T21:25:20.133-05:002011-11-25T21:25:20.133-05:00years ago when we lived in Fla, we had a retired n...years ago when we lived in Fla, we had a retired neighbor who always took my chicken or turkey carcasses (wtih some of meat left on them) and made us the most heavenly soup - Ben was such a great friend and awesome cook - miss him.......Did not cook this year - we were to go to neibhors but we were both sick, so they sent us over Turkey dinner plates (very sweet of them) i usually live on turkey sandwich's, dressing and cran sauce for 4 or 5 days. Turkey pot pie would taste heavenly right now........Debs you can always chop the turkey up and put in in small freezer bags, or in plastic/foil in small amts - nice treats to give the poochies occassionally :o) Annabelle always votes for that one......Hugs MarRosie123https://www.blogger.com/profile/11528374618939863598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-34356875959681603202011-11-25T20:45:49.025-05:002011-11-25T20:45:49.025-05:00I had a friend who cleaned the kitchen by throwing...I had a friend who cleaned the kitchen by throwing the carcass and non-sandwich bits into a pot of water and simmering for two days.

But making soup immediately after Thanksgiving felt like too much work so I threw the carcass in the freezer.

And Cindy, maybe just a simple white sauce instead of the mushroom soup?<br /><br />One of my kind guests broke the carcass up last night and jammed it into the pot so I could make my broth today. Now I have a pot of "Screw the Roux" stew simmering, with turkey, turkey sausage, tomatoes, okra, peppers, onions, celery and creole seasoning. I can hardly wait!Lucy Burdettehttp://www.lucyburdette.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-26074528977721983492011-11-25T16:13:35.022-05:002011-11-25T16:13:35.022-05:00Lark!!

Layer leftover mashed potatoes, turkey, [cooked] green beans, and stuffing; drizzle with gravy. If possible, add another set of layers on top. Top layer should be stuffing. Bake covered in a 350 oven for ½ hour. Remove cover and bake uncovered for about 10 minutes or until top stuffing layer is slightly crisped. Serve with additional gravy and cranberry sauce/jelly, if desired.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-13493968592124712812011-11-25T12:56:13.401-05:002011-11-25T12:56:13.401-05:00Sometimes I pretend that the turkey is just a big ...Sometimes I pretend that the turkey is just a big chicken and translate my recipes into turkey enchiladas, turkey salad, turkey cassoulet and of course turkey lasagna.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577800842379365136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-44712741190280678962011-11-25T12:47:34.326-05:002011-11-25T12:47:34.326-05:00My family has the same attitude as Julia.

We also have a tradition of turkey leftover lunch the day after (which since we are not in the US at the moment is the Sunday before Thanksgiving) before the last of the guests depart (or this year some of the guests depart, the last ones left on Monday).<br /><br />In our family we had a major disaster a few years ago. There were NO leftovers!!!Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504105694800511170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-83587539720649206262011-11-25T11:22:17.307-05:002011-11-25T11:22:17.307-05:00My husband always volunteers to pick the meat off ...My husband always volunteers to pick the meat off the carcass.
