Creative Uses for Leftover Turkey
Thanksgiving always leaves us with an abundance of turkey, and while turkey sandwiches are a classic choice, there are many more innovative ways to enjoy that extra poultry. Try dicing the turkey and adding it to soups, salads, and casseroles. Turkey tacos or turkey Alfredo are also fantastic ways to use leftovers creatively while delighting your palate with new flavors.
How to Reheat Without Drying Out?
One of the biggest challenges with leftovers is reheating them without the dreaded dryness. For turkey, consider adding a bit of broth to the meat and heating it in the oven covered in foil to keep it moist. When it comes to stuffing and potatoes, a microwave with a splash of leftover gravy or a few drops of water can work wonders in maintaining texture and flavor.

Equipment
- Large cast-iron skillet
- Spatula
- Lid for the skillet
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced leftover turkey
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups diced cooked potatoes use Thanksgiving leftovers if available
- 1 cup diced bell peppers red, green, and yellow
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup leftover stuffing optional
- 1/2 cup turkey gravy optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat your skillet: Place a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil.
- Sauté toppings: Add the diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes and turkey: Toss in the diced potatoes and leftover turkey. Stir occasionally and let everything cook together until heated through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, along with any other spices you enjoy.
- Create wells for eggs: Using a spatula, create four small wells in the skillet mixture and crack an egg into each well.
- Add optional ingredients: If using stuffing and gravy, scatter stuffing around the skillet and pour the turkey gravy over the top.
- Cook the eggs: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are set, but the yolks are still runny, about 4-5 minutes.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire skillet, cover again, and let the cheese melt, another 1-2 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation.
