Any serving suggestions for this?

house_cat — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 15:36:54 GMT

I wound up with two packages of this turkey. Last week, I served it for dinner as open sandwiches with gravy. Does anyone have other serving suggestions that might be dinner-worthy? Thank you.

If the slices are thin, it might not work, but there is an old Mr. Food recipe that I used to make when my kids were young. It was quick and filling. When turkey in the deli was on sale, I asked for thicker slices about 8 or so. Make a package of Stove Top Stuffing Mix(r) your choice (I like cornbread); add a small can of corndrained or 3/4 -1 cup frozen thawed, and some craisins to taste. Place the mixture on a slice of turkey and roll up. Place in a baking dish. Use prepared turkey gravy and spoon on top. Left over stuffing can go in a cupcake tin. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes give or take. Note: I am doing this by memory.

I may make this for me and my DH this week!

YES - this is the same recipe my step daughter loves to make with deli turkey - and it's unexpectedly YUMMY!

@Lucky Penny if the slices are thin, could you put turkey in muffin tin and top with stuffing mixture and gravy on top?

How about a Turkey Club Sandwich (BLT with turkey)?

If it was not something you selected, I would toss. Loaded with chemicals and salt.

Yes, it is and yet right about now, with food availability being limited for some folks, some of us are eating what we have... Down the road there will hopefully be plenty of time to be more healthful and choosy...

The last package I had of this product was used for turkey and dressing roll ups.

Lay several slices of the turkey down, add prepared stove top stuffing, roll up, put in a greased baking dish, covered with prepared turkey gravy, heat in 350 oven till hot and bubbly.

@house_cat , I've posted this recipe before. It's super easy & really delish.

It might work for your turkey.

Turkey or Chicken Puff

Filling:
2T butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
2T flour
3/4 cup turkey or chicken stock (bouillon & water is fine)
2 cups cubed turkey or chicken
salt & pepper to taste

Puff: (crust)
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt

additional:

1/4 cup butter
grated cheese of your choice - cheddar is nice
sour cream dollops for garnish
*cranberry sauce alongside is great!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425.

Saute onion in 2T butter.
Sprinkle 2T flour over cooked onions, stir well to combine.
Add stock, cook, stirring until thick.
S&P to taste.
Gently stir in turkey meat, remove from heat.

In medium bowl, beat eggs lightly w/ milk.
Add 3/4 cup flour & 1/2 tsp salt.
Stir till smooth.

Place 1/4 cup butter (or less) into a 10" pie pan, quiche pan or oven safe skillet & set inside hot oven to melt.
When butter is bubbly, remove pan from oven, & pour batter into center of pan.
Then spoon turkey/chicken mixture into center of that, leaving a border of batter.

Sprinkle all w/ grated cheese, & bake for 25 min., or until batter is puffed and golden on sides
Serve w/ a dollop of sour cream.

There is a restaurant in Pittsburgh that makes a concoction that people are wild about. The restaurant is called Mad Mex and the sandwich is call gobblerito. Just like have Thanksgiving dinner people say.

Take soft taco, layer them with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and corn; fold up and pour over gravy and add a side of cranberry sauce.

Main dish salad with Parmesian cheese. I'd pan grill the turkey lightly.

Or grilled swiss cheese and turkey sandwiches with pasta salad.

Pan fry turkey slices cut into wide strips with green pepper, onion, and fresh mushrooms.

i buy this often because it is the ONLY turkey my son will eat on a sandwich and he keeps it simple. toast, melted cheese, mayo, mustard, and the turkey....baby dill pickles on the side.

for myself, i buy freshly sliced deli turkey......there are so many different kinds to choose from!

house_cat — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 19:41:57 GMT

Thanks, everyone 😘

I'm keeping all these ideas in my tool box for the future. I think my DH will best like the panini, so that's the plan at the moment.

@sabatini

That recipe sounds like something I'd enjoy very much, but I don't want to make it with this turkey. I have lots of chicken breasts in my freezer right now. I'm looking forward to trying it with chicken. Thank you.

Also, not that I need to justify my purchase, but the fact is that I ordered something else from the grocery store last week and neglected to check "no substitutions" on my Instacart order. It was actually supposed to be a pound of Boar's Head low salt turkey from the deli department. I learned my lesson.

You could make turkey rolls like they do sausage rolls. You would have to dice it, season I'd add a pinch sage, onion garlic roll out a premade , or your own biscuit dough. I would add teaspoon mayo for fat. I would add something spicy

or eat it cut up with a water cracker, arugula, lettuce a slice of pickle, tomato, cucumber or whatever you have.

the other alternative is slicing in a noodle recipe

slice with arugula add to scrambled eggs

dice and make a deviled turkey spread.

however, my all time favorite is rolling the slice tight like a cigar with shredded lettuce in middle and just munch it

my husband makes fried rice. Slice and cut again in little piece. Sauté onion, bacon if you eat it, I don't. I do use wellshire turkey bacon premade. Diced or sliced celery, sauté. Add rice, stir fry a bit. Add sliced water chestnuts, or a few frozen peas if you have it, scramble egg on side then mix in. Season with pepper, soy sauce.

@sabatini

a question about your recipe.

once you put that puff pastry/crust into the hot pie dish does it spread out easily on its own or do you have to manipulate it some?

Re: Any serving suggestions for this?

sabatini — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 19:56:24 GMT

Hi @sunshine45 !

No, you don't have to do a thing. It's a fairly thin batter, & readily spreads on its own.

I hope you do try it. I've never met anyone who doesn't like it!
