Roast turkey with all the trimmings is delicious…but sometimes it’s hard to think what to do with the leftovers. A turkey sandwich is OK the first day… but what about the next day and the next day? Or what about if you want to do something a bit more interesting this year?

Well you are in luck because quick and easy leftovers recipes is something I love to create! In fact, one of my favourite things about  cooking with leftovers is that it’s such an easy peasy way to make a delicious meal!

I have included timings and quantities for these turkey leftovers recipes, so you can choose the perfect recipe for the amount of leftovers you have, as well as the amount of time you want to spend cooking. If the recipe wasn’t originally created with leftover turkey in mind, I have also included specific instructions on how to adapt the recipe.

If you have other leftovers you need to use up, please check out my full collection of leftovers recipes.

Dull but important note on food safety… please remember to get your turkey leftovers into the fridge or freezer within 2 hours of the turkey coming out of the oven. Turkey leftovers can usually be safely stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 1 month. Never freeze cooked turkey more than once. Always make sure you reheat cooked turkey until it’s piping hot! If in doubt throw it away…food waste is bad, but food poisoning is worse!!

      Thanks Jacqui! I did a similar post earlier this year for Easter Lamb Leftovers, which went down really well, so I thought a similar post for Christmas might also be helpful. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too! Eb x
