Turkey A La King on Philo pastry shells. Turkey, mushroom, peas in a delicious creamy sauce ... google to see several recipes.

Kentucky Hot Brown
Layer the ingredients in
oven proof casserole dish or ramekins
Toast
Turkey
Cover generously with Mornay
Add tomato slice
Two strips of cooked bacon
Broil until bubbling hot

Heart attack optional

Note: Don't tell anyone but I have been known to cheat and use 4 cheese pasta sauce instead of Mornay. Never ever ever use any kind of yellow cheese sauce. The God of Derby will smite you.

Also I do love turkey enchildas too.

Cut the sandwich in half diagonally
Enjoy
No No, you forgot to spread with mayo AND cranberry relish ! Also, learned this one at the Wah Wah and now do it at home ! Every year they have the gobbler sub.

Carved turkey and a sub roll, with DRESSING & cranberry all heated under the broiler being careful NOT to burn ! Love making these at home now, but also like the old standard, turkey, mayo, lettuce leaf, and white bread.

Have you tried this leaving the mayo off and adding a layer of your stuffing and a slice of Cranberry Sauce? DELISH>>>>>

My DH favorite is toasted turkey sandwiches. Just make like a toasted cheese but add a thin slab of turkey with a little bit of salt inside with your cheese. I always preheat the turkey in the microwave first.

Also....instead of butter on the outsides brush some flavored olive oil on each side before putting in the frypan.

My husband loves leftover Turkey cut up into bite sized pieces mixed with leftover gravy. Warm in a sauce pan with salt and pepper to taste and a knob of butter. Then pour over buttered toast!

Tuscan Bean and Turkey Skillet

1 T Olive Oil
1 t basil
2-3 cloves garlic
2-3 cups turkey - cooked and chopped
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
1/2 c sliced olives
2 16-oz cans Great Northern Beans - rinsed and drained

Heal oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for a minute or two, but don't let it brown. Add remaining ingredients and continue to cook until it's hot and bubbling.

Fast, easy, and good.
