    I put most of the leftover turkey in the freezer right away to have on other days so people don't get sick of it.
    I sometimes chop it up and mix it with leftover gravy and serve that over toast, rice or potatoes.
    I use turkey in soup or casseroles that call for chicken.
    I heat it and mix it with BBQ sauce and have it on a sandwich.

    Oh yeah, I saw this on Triple D (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives): Put your left over stuffing in a waffle iron and make a waffle out of it. Top with turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. Looked delicious!

    I can't imagine going grocery shopping for two weeks...I go to the grocery store twice per day lol.

    I don't know. I would just eat it with zucchini and squash probably. Not very creative.

    One of my favorites is the turkey sandwich the next day. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and cheese all toasted. Super yum!

    I like using leftover turkey in salads, as it helps get me back on track after the blow-out that is Thanksgiving. This recipe from Jamie Oliver is one I particularly like:

    I won't have much turkey because I'm not the one bringing it, we'll have enough for some sandwiches, which doesn't go too very far with my family of seven. :p

    However, I have a turkey in the freezer to cook later, plan on getting another tomorrow and a couple of turkey breast on top of that. When I cook the whole turkeys, things that could be made include enchiladas, turkey noodle soup, turkey pot pie, turkey tetrazzini, fajitas, burritos (my husband likes Mexican, lol) turkey chili. The possibilities are endless!

    This plus 4 cups of turkey: http://www.pacificfoods.com/kitchen/sides/broccoli-casserole.aspx

    It's somewhat heavy, but delicious. You can easily double the cooked pasta.

    This sounds awesome! I will be trying it for sure!

    Leftover turkey goes in BBQ sandwiches or alfredo in my house :)

    For sandwiches, would mayonnaise be on the list then?

    It would be on my Turkey sandwich, otherwise it would be too dry.

    I already posted this, but the croquettes are seriously good! If you want to make and save, just flash freeze (directly on a metal baking sheet) and transfer them to a freezer bag to eat over the next 4 months. Re-bake them to thaw/crisp when you're ready to eat.

    I freeze the meat and use it in any recipe that I'd use cooked chicken. Also turkey sandwiches (bread & mayo).

    The other thing I do is make a casserole with the leftovers: stuffing/dressing in the bottom, add chunked turkey, pour gravy over it, and top with mashed potatoes. Throw in the oven and bake until it's bubbly and the mashed potatoes begin to brown. You could add cheese as well.
