The girls read Mikhail 'T'was The Night Before Christmas' like we do every year too.
I cooked two turkeys so we could have leftovers. We did have turkey sandwiches but also had Shepard's Pie the day after. I tastes like turkey dinner all over again. I love the fact that you just pull out all the leftovers from the day before and layer them together and bake, that's it. It has become a tradition every boxing day for us.

Another one we just tried was Turkey Pot Pie. Just whip up your favourite pie pastry. I doubled the veggies and used a little less then 2 cups of broth so I didn't have to cool the filling before baking. I only used half of the veggies I cooked and froze the rest of the cooked filling for another night of easy cooking.

If you have a food processor here's a super easy recipe for double pie pastry...
**
**
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup butter, cold and cut
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
4-6 tablespoons ice water
Combine flour, salt & sugar in food processor. Add your cold, cut up butter and mix in processor until you have a course pea size mixture. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture resembles crumbs. If dough holds together when pinched it's ready. Split the mixture into two even groups and form two balls. Roll out on a floured surface. Be sure not to handle your dough much or it will not turn out the same.

Another recipe we have tried is Turkey Tetrazzini which wasn't bad either. So if you have cooked turkey in the freezer or have just cooked your turkey hopefully this will help you use up some of the leftovers.
