The Day After: Great Recipes for the Leftovers
Front-Ranger:
What to do with leftover turkey department.
In honor of Sam Arnold, owner of The Fort Restaurant in Morrision, Colorado, who died last June, I offer one of his signature recipes, Bowl of the Wife of Kit Carson:
1 cup cooked chicken or turkey in bite-size pieces
1 cup cooked rice
4 cups rich chicken broth
1 cup cooked garbanzo beans
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 chopped chipotle pepper
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup cubed Monterey Jack (what else?) cheese
Heat broth to boiling and add chicken, garbanzos, pepper, rice, and oregano. Serve in large bowls and add cheese and avocado just before serving. Serves 4.

EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE CASSEROLE
The perfect leftover dish!
2 cups chopped turkey (can use chicken, too)
1 1/2 cups hot cooked rice
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
corn flake crumbs
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Add the greater amount of mayonnaise if it seems dry. If you have any fresh mushrooms on hand, slice them up and add them to the mix.
Pour into a 1 1/2 quart casserole (spray with Pam, first). Top with corn flake crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Serves 4-6.
My father, who never has seconds, eats seconds of this.

Sounds delicious, Dottie.

No real recipe, but saw this on a cooking show.
Just fry up on the stove in some butter, a combination of turkey and dressing, serve on a sandwich roll topped with a dollop of gravy and cranberry sauce.
I'm trying that this year - for a non-cook like myself, it's sounds cheap and easy.
