Any simple ideas on what to do with leftover Christmas turkey. I've thought of a curry, and sandwiches.

Agreed. I buy a turkey that's the right size and be done with it..

It's a crap meat.

If it's such a crap meat then why not buy something that you actually like? I don't understand why people feel that they have to buy turkey at Christmas then they don't eat it for the rest of the year.

Because my parents and in laws would freak out if I bought something nice.

There's nothing good about Turkey which is why you will not see it on 99% of restaurant menus apart from at Xmas.

I love, love, love turkey. Cooking in an oven bag it comes out really moist. We like leftovers. In fact, this year I bought two crowns so we can have one mid January too.

We like turkey sarnies to be fair, but I also love bubble and squeak with turkey. Yummy. We also have a lot of ploughman's type meals with turkey, ham, salad, pickles and french stick.

I like open-faced hot turkey sandwiches with gravy and mashed potatoes.

Pinterest has tons of recipes for leftover turkey.

I've made this for the last few years but I've added chunks of the gammon so it's turkey, ham and leek pie.
I've never bothered with the chestnuts but the pie and the gravy have been wonderful.

Some of us like turkey others don't.

I buy turkey, beef & lamb. Something for everyone.

I love turkey, I have one at Easter too, though I don't eat it all week. The pets soon demolish the leftovers

We buy the largest turkey but only eat the breasts. Pets have the brown meat/legs

It's always been a must in my house. Warm baguette, lashings of butter and turkey broth. All the faff of Christmas is worth it, just for that.

That's exactly how i have it Postit! Delicious stuff. Had it ever since i was a child; part of the joy of christmas is those horrid January days being warmed by a bowl of the good stuff. My friend's elderly mother describes the amount of butter needed as "enough to leave teeth marks in" perfect
I'm a rissole addict as well though

Indeed you can't let that go to waste. If you are bored of broth in its own right it makes wonderful risotto.

Samuel Johnson. I was trying to remember his name earlier tonight. He didn't really say that did he?

It had a sort of resonance even if it didn't make complete sense.

You should just buy a crown. I always bought a whole turkey in the past and like you - the dogs had a lot of the legs. But last year I bought my first crown and I will never go back. Its cheaper for a start and all you get it that lovely breast meat. It also takes less time to cook, so less chance of drying it out.
