Leftover Turkey Recipe w/ Linky & 3 Giveaways

Filed Under: Family Values, Giveaways, Proteins, Recipes Tagged With: family, holidays, turkey 2 Comments

What are you going to do with leftover turkey come Friday morning this week? 
Americans cook an average sized 15 pound turkey on Thanksgiving. Rather than boring leftover turkey sandwiches, here is a recipe to try. It’s a modified recipe from Pioneer Woman’s Chicken Spaghetti. Below you can link up a favorite holiday recipe of any kind through Sunday, November 27 at 11:59PM CST from your blog and be sure to leave a comment on why you love that recipe. Then on Monday morning, November 28, I’ll draw 3 winners and send of you each a different cookbook. I have many favorites but haven’t decided which I will order and send you. Shout out a favorite cookbook if you’d like! 
Now get ready to make Turkey Spaghetti instead of Chicken Spaghetti. You need simple and easy ingredients for a family friendly meal that will still allow you plenty of time out of the kitchen this weekend.

You’ll need:
Leftover turkey, white and dark meat
1 lb. thin spaghetti, broken into 2″ pieces
1 four ounce jar pimentos
1 4 oz. can of sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, diced
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp or just a pinch cayenne pepper, depending on your tastes
Freshly ground black pepper

My inspiration is this recipe from Pioneer Woman for Chicken Spaghetti.

Preheat your oven to 350F.

1. Shred or cut up your leftover turkey and set aside. At least 3-4 cups would be ideal.
2. Boil up spaghetti, according to directions and it should be broken ahead of time into 2″ pieces
3. Dice the vegetables

4. Place the cooked spaghetti into a large bowl. I did a double recipe and so this looks enormous.
5. Add two cans of cream of mushroom soup
6. Add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
7. Add pimento, mushrooms, diced onion and green pepper
8. Add seasoned salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. If you don’t like a little heat, leave out the cayenne pepper but I love a dash.
9. Add turkey and 2 cups of chicken broth
10. Stir together well
11. Pour the spaghetti mixture into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan

12. I ran out of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkled parmesan on the top of the pan before baking. You can add the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes until golden and bubbly.

13. Share with friends. We brought supper recently to our farm friends. The girls go to daycare with Miss K and she has a brand new sister, Miss O.

I have made multiple pans of Turkey (or Chicken) Spaghetti and kept in the freezer. This can be your easy go to leftover turkey recipe this weekend. Below link up any favorite holiday recipe and share a comment why you love it. 
3 winners will be drawn randomly and shared early Monday, November 28!

    I love leftovers just about as much as the meal itself. I linked up some of my favorites. I love pulling cooked turkey out of the freezer months later to make a casserole and remembering the great family time we had at Thanksgiving.

    This recipe for Great Grandma’s Bread has been in my family forever. It was the first yeast bread I learned to make. As a kid I remember helping Mom cut and roll rolikys for family gatherings.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
