We always roast a turkey large enough so that we have leftover turkey for sandwiches. Use the leftover turkey in one of these recipes.
Holiday Turkey Casserole with Croutons
Wondering what to do with your leftover turkey? Here’s an easy layered dish that uses canned soup and croutons.
3/4 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 cups seasoned croutons
4 cups cubed leftover cooked turkey or chicken
Watkins Black Pepper
1 can [10 3/4 oz.] condensed cream of celery soup
1 can [10 3/4 oz.] condensed cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
Melt butter in a large skillet. Cook and stir celery and onion in butter until tender. Add croutons and toss to coat. Put half of the crouton mixture in an 11×7-inch baking pan. Add turkey, then remaining croutons. Heat the soups and milk together in a saucepan. Add pepper to taste. Pour this mixture over the layers. Bake in 325 degree F oven for 45 minutes or until heated through.
Number of Servings: 4 to 6
Turkey Salad Sandwiches

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion or 1/4 teaspoon Watkins Onion Powder
1/2 cup celery, chopped
