We have a small crew so slowly eating it as leftovers and sandwiches won’t get the job done. I was thinking of making a bunch of individual-sized turkey pot pies (in muffin tins) and freezing them. What other ideas are out there?

I make turkey rice soup and freeze individual portions.

ATK turkey tetrazzini. And I make turkey broth with the carcass, which turns into turkey noodle soup with veggies and diced turkey meat.

I found a recipe for dim sum like dumplings made with chopped cooked turkey. Going to try those.

We did a chicken this year, but the leftover-usage recipes are the same. I like to make turkey salad. My usual recipe is just chopped turkey, boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and chopped sweet pickles. This year's low carb version was very good. I swapped out the sweet pickles for radishes, green onions, and dill pickles. I also like to make stock out of the carcass and I usually use that to make vegetable soup. This year, I just used it for stock.

I did stock with the carcass for the first time ever this year. Froze it in plastic bags. I seem to make a lot of things in the instant pot that require a little bit of chicken broth.

My son's favorite Thanksgiving leftover meal was a sandwich loaded down with...all of it. Lay down a slice of thick-cut bread Cover it with slices of turkey Spread the turkey with cornbread dressing Warm the giblet gravy, but not so hot that it flows off the sandwich, drizzle heavily on turkey and cornbread Spread the other piece of bread with a bunch of cranberry sauce and assemble You probably have to be a seventeen-year-old boy to survive this, so I don't know if he still does it. Once, when he was seventeen-ish, he thought that we'd run out of the critical ingredient and he was going to wait a year for another Thanksgiving sandwich extravaganza. The he found a tub in the back of the refrigerator. You could hear him all over the house when he cried out, "MORE GRAVY! There is a God!"

It must be heartwarming when your kids get religion.

Ok, for the record, my steamed/fried dumplings (Gyosa) that I used chopped cooked turkey in (instead of pork and shrimp) were not worth the time it took to put them together. The turkey is just TOO strong a taste, especially the dark meat. Turkey really isn’t my favorite anyway - it’s all the fixin’s that I like - and I’m thinking next year I might cook chickens instead...
