What do I DO With All Of The Turkey Leftovers?? Roger's Turkey Shepherds Pie
Just a short note on leftover Roger's turkey dinner shepherds pie. Make a bed of dressing in the bottom of one of the baking pans. Put your carcass pickings (small pieces of turkey meat) over the top until about 2/3 full. Pour gravy over the top. Make mashed potato patties and arrange over the top to cover. Put this in the oven at 350F for about an hour or until it bubbles. This is always a crowd pleaser. BTW, you can freeze this, and bake it later if you don't want turkey several days in a row.

This looks like a great idea for the Friday after Thanksgiving. Also, I wanted to tell you: I saw a professional chef on TV roasting a turkey. Instead of stuffing it and putting the whole bird in the oven, he hacked down the back, removed the backbone and butterflied the turkey. If you had a smallish turkey, you could easily do that, lay it on the bed of stuffing (or on an oiled pan), and it think it would fit into our RV ovens. Also a great way to roast a whole chicken. I think I might try it. It sure looked good! Thanks for the Shepherd's Pie recipe. :)

DeleteThanks for the ideas. I took a cooking class some time ago and they were very specific about not stuffing turkeys, especially large ones. Stuffing generally does not reach a temp inside the bird to be safe. Better to cook it separate to make sure it does not have undercooked juices. The shepherds pie is using already cooked turkey.
