What to do with Leftover "Turkey" & Recipe Post: "Turkey" Sliders

Happy Saturday after Thanksgiving! Anybody actually go out and shop for Black Friday? I only know a few people who actually brave the stores instead of just going online to get more deals with less hassle. (Did that sound like an infomercial? Sorry.) I can't judge, we actually went out for it this year, although the only things we bought were Taco Bell and Brad's Cookie Nook.

One thing that almost every family has in common the next few days after Thanksgiving, whether you participate in Black Friday or not, is a lot of leftover turkey or "turkey." My brother is a vegetarian, too, and my mom can't eat Quorn Turk'y (allergies) but also doesn't like real turkey, so my dad decides each year to not buy a real turkey just for himself since it'd be too many leftovers. My family always leftovers of the fake kind, the trickery of science and magic that is "Quorn Turk'y Roast."

I have a few of recommendations for turkey leftovers, of the real or fake variety. First, a new one that hasn't appeared on the blog before, and one of my favorite things to do with leftovers: "Turkey" Sliders.


This one uses up three of the main leftovers and is extremely easy. I made dinner in 5 minutes when I did these, and that was after deciding to make myself a second helping like Hubby.

Let's get down to it:

Prep Time: Whatever time it takes to make the original meal! Leftovers only.

Cook Time: Less than 5 minutes

Serves: 4 sliders (2 per person)

Ingredients:

4 slices Quorn Turk'y Roast
4 left-over dinner rolls
~1/2 cup leftover gravy

Directions:

1) Heat up your turkey and gravy (duh). We used mushroom gravy, but whatever kind you have is fine.

Take your rolls, slice them in half and toast them. This year we had Panera rolls with dinner.


2) Spoon a small amount of gravy onto the bottom of your rolls.


Place a slice of turkey on top and add a little more gravy.


Top with the second half of the roll. And just like that, you have a turkey slider.


Rinse and repeat for the other three, and you've got dinner for two! (*Pictured before I decided on having seconds.)


We also had leftover Berry Crumble.


Even better the second day!

Now, there are a couple of other recipes that have been on the blog already that would also be great uses for leftover turkey or "turkey":

"Turkey" Noodle Soup:


"Turkey" Pot Pie:


Whatever you do with it, enjoy! Hubby and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
