Delicious "Planned Overs" for Turkey
and Mrs. Cubbison's Stuffing
Even though we invariably overeat during the holidays, it seems there is always plenty of food left over. With a little planning, your family can enjoy delicious meals all week long and not feel like they are being served the "leftovers." The following "planned over" ideas will help families enjoy holiday spread again and again and never have the same exact meal twice!
Grease a casserole dish and place any turkey pieces in bottom of casserole, covering surface. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons cooking sherry (if desired) to remaining gravy and heat. Pour dressing over turkey, top with extra Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing and bake at 350 degrees F until stuffing is piping hot and serve.
Cut turkey slices into small pieces, toss with remaining Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing and spoon into hollowed out tomato halves. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (optional) and broil until heated through.
Saute onions and garlic in a little oil. Add cooked turkey pieces from the holiday meal and one can of stewed tomatoes. Season with hot sauce or red chili powder to taste. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add shrimp, shell-on mussels or clams and simmer until liquid is almost gone. Serve this Creole-style "planned over" on top of reheated Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing.
Slit Anaheim or other favorite chiles and remove seeds from chiles. Combine any favorite Mexican-style ingredients (turkey pieces, cooked sausage, canned corn, etc.) with Mrs. Cubbison's stuffing. Stuff chiles with stuffing mixture, top with strips of cheese and bake in greased shallow baking pan at 350 degrees F until chiles are tender and stuffing is warmed through.
