turkey – Papas Cutting Board

I made this with leftover turkey last year after Thanksgiving. I froze the remaining filling. This freezes well. I just pulled a bag from the freezer for dinner tonight. I was thrilled there was no freezer burn taste. Jim ate 3 large chimichangas, and said it tasted like I just created it.

Keeper!

If you are using leftover turkey -skip the first step with the chicken in water – you can use a chipotle chile from a can if you don’t want to boil one. I used leftover turkey when I first created this. It is a bit of work the first time, but trust me, you can freeze the leftover filling (and it makes a lot) Once frozen, all you have to do is thaw, and add to fajita shells and fry real quick.

I’m so glad I froze this and didn’t toss or give away. Definitely using this recipe again this year, after Thanksgiving

This is a big, beautiful – oversized book. This is a fun book for us because the recipes are out of our normal creating range and we enjoy the change up.

There are a couple hot drinks I’ll be trying this year from this book.

Years ago, I learned of a Victorian Tea Room in Eureka Springs, AR. The tea room was owned by a husband and wife, who loved antiques and cooking. The dishes were down home cooking, easy to put together, but always with a touch of something that made them extra delicious. They have since closed down (retired) I came across the cookbook over the weekend at a yard sale (very happy lady, right here) I had leftover chicken so, I made the Carrot Soup (Jim and I really enjoy the taste of baked carrots) and the Puffed Chicken sandwiches.

Oh My! Yes, this will definitely be made again. Now, I know what to do with the leftovers besides the norm.

I only used 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice, as I felt like 1 1/2 was too much

Victorian Tea Room in Eureka Springs, AR owned by a husband and wife who loved antiques and cooking – the dishes were down home cooking, easy to put together but always with a touch of something that made them extra delicious. They have since closed down (retired) After looking over all the recipes in the book, there are many I want to make but I started with these two. On page 15, the carrot soup and on page 28, the Puffed Chicken Sandwiches. I made the Carrot Soup, (Jim and I really enjoy the taste of baked carrots) and the Puffed Chicken sandwiches, because I had leftover chicken. These sandwiches are delicious and they remind me of tuna salad sandwiches. I’ll be making these often this summer. I would cut back to 1 Tbsp of Lemon juice instead of 1 1/2.

Oh My! Yes, this will definitely be made again. Now, I know what to do with the leftovers besides the norm.
I look forward to many recipes I have marked in this book.

Update: Today, I borrowed from the recipe on page 103: Chicken dressing casserole. I bought pork chops at Kroger on sale, and I wasn’t thrilled with the flavor – boring. I remembered the dressing casserole recipe in this book, and decided to use the leftover pork with this recipe. Delicious, and this recipe saved the dish. Anything with stuffing, and cream soup is usually a life saver for boring meats
