Turkey Leftovers!

Sometimes it becomes a task in our house to actually eat leftovers!  With my divorced parents and Adam's family, we end up with a lot of Thanksgiving leftovers!  After a couple days of turkey sandwiches and warmed up side dishes, we tend to get sick of the leftovers.  I was determined this year to use every bit of these leftovers because we really don't need to spend extra money on food when we already have delicious home cooked food in our refrigerator! Here are two easy yummy meals I made with the leftovers!

Turkey Tortilla Soup!

Ingredients:

1 onion, chopped

4-5 cloves of garlic, minced (use my favorite invention ever, garlic zoom)

1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. cumin (this makes the soup!)

1 (28oz.) can of Crushed Tomatoes

1 (14.5oz.) can of Diced Tomatoes

1 (32oz.) carton of Swanson Chicken Broth

1 (15oz.) can of Whole Kernel Corn

1 (15oz.) can of Black Beans, drained and rinsed

1 (4 oz.) can of chopped green chile peppers

1/4 cup chopped jalapenos

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 cups chopped left over turkey (white and dark meat)

Hot Sauce to Taste

Directions:

In a stock pot, heat oil over medium heat.  Saute onion and garlic in oil until soft.  Stir in chili powder, cumin, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken broth and 1/2 can of water.  Bring to a boil, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. 

Stir in corn, black beans, chiles, jalapenos, cilantro, and turkey.  Add Salt, Pepper, and Hot Sauce to Taste.  Let simmer for 1 hour.

Ladle Soup into serving bowls, and top with tortilla chips, avocado slices, sour cream, and chopped green onion.

Turkey, Stuffing, and Gravy Stuffed Rolls

Ingredients:

Pillsbury biscuit dough, whole sheet

Left over turkey, chopped

Left over stuffing chopped

Left over gravy

Left over Cranberry

Directions:

Unroll of whole sheet of biscuit dough and cut out round circles (I used a left over can of corn).  Mix the other ingredients together in a bowl and spoon a small portion into each circle.  Grab the edges of the dough and gather at the top, like a little wonton.  Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

We served it with our favorite side, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella with balsamic, and our bottle of wine from Jeff and Sarah!
