Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Turkey Fricassee Recipe
Dressing Layer

2 (6 ounce) boxes Turkey Stuffing Mix (we used Stove Top)
1/2 teaspoon sage
1 cup diced celery
1 onion diced
2 small Gala apples (diced)
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup butter
21 ounces (1 1/2 cans) chicken broth

In a large bowl combine stuffing mix, sage, celery, onions, and apples.
In a saucepan add mushrooms, butter, and chicken broth. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted. The mushrooms will continue to cook during the baking time. Add this mixture to the stuffing mixture in the big bowl and mix together thoroughly. Set Aside.

Casserole Ingredients

3 cups leftover turkey or chicken (diced)
2 (10.5 ounce) cans of Cream of Mushroom soup
1 1/4 cups leftover gravy (could also use chicken broth but gravy adds best flavor)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan. Press 2/3 of the dressing into the bottom of the pan. Then cover with diced turkey. Then cover the turkey with remaining 1/3 of the dressing.

In a saucepan mix together soup, gravy, and milk. Bring to a boil and stir until smooth. Pour this mixture over dressing and sprinkle lightly with paprika (optional).

Bake for 90 minutes, or until the surface is brown and bubbly. We like to bake covered and then remove the aluminum foil the last 30 minutes of cook time.
