I love turkey.
I love turkey leftovers as well. If I can’t have turkey with all the fixings
then turkey leftovers are second best.
I ended up eating most of my Christmas leftovers
on Christmas Day and into the early morning hours of the day after Christmas.
One of the benefits to working the graveyard shift is that I still had plenty
of eating hours left in my day AFTER our Christmas festivities ended.
My first round of leftovers was a turkey sandwich. This is my most favorite way to eat turkey leftovers. My Mom bakes Rhodes Texas Rolls at every holiday
meal. Rhodes makes a roll that tastes
just as good as homemade with less hassle.
You just thaw and bake. It is
that easy!
I had my turkey sandwich on a Rhodes roll with
some spicy brown mustard, lettuce, and provolone cheese.
It was quite tasty.
For my next round of leftovers I wanted to get a little
creative with the mashed potatoes I brought home. I did a Google search for baked mashed potato patties and found Skinny Taste’s recipe.
I didn’t actually use her skinny mashed potatoes, which is the base of
the recipe. I added some sour cream,
some garlic power, and some Red Robin seasoning. I formed them into patties, dipped in the egg
white wash, and put into bread crumbs. I
baked them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes each side. They were really good!
I needed some greens so I opened a can of green
beans and had my turkey alongside it.
Yum! I have two leftover patties
to eat so I’ll try to reheat in the toaster oven.
I also made a batch of turkey and noodle soup to
serve with the remaining left over mashed potatoes mixed in.
Did I mention already that I love turkey?
