Turkey Pan Stew



Here's the simplest leftover recipe in the world and our dinner

regulars love it! Usually the day after Thanksgiving or

Christmas(we eat turkey then, too) everyboby wants sandwiches or

full plate dinners warmed up in the microwave.

On the second day however, they're ready for something different.

My Dad was anyway, and he created this meal.



Into our largest frying pan we throw in as much left over turkey

(white and dark both) and as much leftover stuffing as will fit

and all the left over gravy (We usually use up everything) and

simmer over medium heat adding as much hot water as necessary to

maintain a stew consistency. (The stuffing absorbs the liquid.)

We warm up the leftover mashed potatoes and vegtables, pull out

the leftover cranberry sauce and serve. Many in our group of

diners plop the "glop" right on top of the potatoes.



Our table enjoyed this so much this year that when we recently

had leftover chicken, they clamored for the same thing!

It doesn't matter how the chicken is cooked. Just strip it off

the bone or separate boneless pieces into strips and do the same

thing by making stove top stuffing and using store bought bottled

gravy. It's not quite as tasty (mainly because we still opt for

stuffing in the turkey during the holidays -none of us ever got

sick!) but we found by adding some sage to the stove top stuffing

the facsimile was still plenty good.
