Leftover turkey is quite dry, given it&#039;s a lean meat. So smothering it in a creamy sauce for a Turkey Pot Pie is the ideal way to repurpose perfectly good leftovers! This is like a cross between Chicken Pot Pie and Cheesy Garlic Bread. While the filling is delicious, that buttery garlicky cheesy topping steals the show. I just love how it gets soaked with the creamy white sauce!!Use whatever veggies you want. And of course, chicken is a straight up simple substitute for turkey if that&#039;s what you have.

Garlic Bread Leftover Turkey Pot Pie

/ 5 oz mushrooms

/ 4 tbsp butter

onion (, finely chopped (brown, white, yellow))

garlic (, minced)

carrot (, peeled, chopped into 1cm/ 1/3" pieces)

tbsp flour ((plain/all purpose))

milk ((any fat % fine))

(600 grams) cooked chopped turkey or chicken

tsp chicken stock

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

/ 4 tbsp salted butter

garlic garlic

bread

tbsp parmesan cheese (, grated (optional))

mozzarella

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (all oven types)

Topping: Stir together melted butter and garlic. Place bread chunks in a bowl, drizzle over butter, toss. Set aside.

Brown mushrooms: Heat oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. (Note 3) Add mushrooms and cook until browned - about 4 minutes. Remove.

Sauté garlic &amp; onion: Lower heat to medium high. Melt butter in same skillet. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes.

Add carrot then cook for 1 minute.

Add flour, cook for 1 minute. You&#039;ll have a pasty mix. Don&#039;t worry if it looks dry (depends how sweaty your onions get).

Make roux: While stirring, add half the milk and mix quickly to dissolve the paste into the liquid (this happens quite quickly). Add remaining liquid and stir. Add stock powder, salt and pepper, stir.

Thicken sauce: Cook for 2 - 3 minutes, stirring regularly. It should start steaming and bubbling a bit, and the sauce will thicken. Thickness test: coat back of wooden spoon, you should be able to draw a line across it (see video, Note 3)

Add turkey, peas and mushrooms, and mix into sauce.

Top with bread, spread to cover surface. Grate over parmesan if using, top with melting cheese.

Bake: Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the cheese gets some brown spots. Tent foil over so it doesn&#039;t stick to the cheese, then bake for a further 10 minutes.

Serve: Sprinkle with additional parmesan if desired, then serve!

Transform leftover turkey in this spiced filo pastry parcel, inspired by a Moroccan pastilla - a perfect main course for Boxing Day

Moroccan-spiced turkey pie

coriander seeds

tsp cumin seeds

cinnamon

aubergines

banana shallots

harissa

peppers

can chopped tomatoes

chicken stock cube

leftover turkey (a mix of leg and breast is best), chopped

pack (about 10 large sheets) filo pastry

flaked almonds

Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and toast the coriander and cumin seeds for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the cinnamon, olive oil, aubergine and shallots. Coat the veg in the spices and cook on a medium-low heat for about 10 mins until the aubergine has softened slightly.

Add the harissa and peppers. Give everything a good stir, then add the tomatoes and crumble over the stock cube. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 mins until the veg is tender and the mixture is nice and thick.

Stir through the turkey meat and season well. Set aside to cool.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a 23cm springform tin with a little butter. Lay two sheets of filo over the base of the tin and brush with the melted butter. Cross over another two layers of filo and brush again with butter. Repeat once more, then put the cooled filling in the centre. Using the remaining four pastry sheets, cover the filling and brush with more melted butter. Scrunch the top of the pie together and bake for 30-35 mins.

Remove from the oven and scatter the pie with the flaked almonds. Cook for a final 10 mins until the pie is golden and piping hot. Serve straight away.

This rich and creamy leftover turkey risotto with mushrooms and Pancetta is a great way to use up that mountain of leftover Turkey from Christmas or thanks giving! It&#039;s also gluten free!

Leftover Turkey Risotto Recipe

150 g (2 cups) chestnut mushrooms (sliced)

150 g (5 oz) pancetta cubes

onion (peeled and chopped finely)

garlic (peeled and crushed)

arborio rice

150 ml (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) white wine

stock

250 g (2 cups) cooked leftover turkey (shredded)

¼ tsp ground black pepper

g (1/2 cup) parmesan, grated

of ½ a lemon

Add the butter and one tbsp of the oil to a large frying pan. Heat until the butter melts.

Add the mushrooms and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden then remove from the pan and place in a bowl.

Add the pancetta to the pan, and fry until golden and crisp then remove from the pan and place in the bowl with the mushrooms.

Add the finely diced onion to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until the onion starts to go translucent.

Add in the garlic, stir and cook for a further minute.

Next in goes the arborio rice, and stir until the oil has coated the rice.

Add in the wine and stir and cook for a couple of minutes stirring regularly until the wine has almost fully absorbed into the rice.

Now add the stock a ladle at a time - ensuring each ladle has almost fully absorbed before adding the next. Ensure you stir regularly.

After about 15-17 minutes you should have 1 or 2 ladles of stock left. At this point, add in the shredded turkey, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

Add the remaining stock and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the turkey through and so the stock can absorb into the rice.

Add in the cooked mushrooms, cooked pancetta, parmesan and lemon juice. Give everything a good stir then cook for another minute or 2.

Serve topped with a little grated parmesan, some black pepper, and a few sprigs of thyme.
