I made a semi-spicy spaghetti . just make spaghetti like you normally would (I used spinach spaghetti) then mix in 1 can of cream of mushroom, 1 can cream of chicken, 1 cup sour cream, i can ro-tel tomatoes original, and then about 2 cups (i used a little more) of shredded turkey (can also use chicken) mix it all up and put it into a 9x13 pan and cover with tin foil. stick in the oven at 350 for 30 mins. Pull it out and add a little cheese on the top and stick it back in the oven till the cheese is melted. It is great I love it!!0

We didn't do turkey this year, as I had to work on Christmas. But when I do it at the house, I always make 2 (mainly because they are cheaper this time of year). One I carve and serve normally, and we use those left overs for sandwiches or salads. The other turkey is shredded and portioned out into 8oz and frozen. Then I use pull an 8 oz bag out when I need it and make chili, tacos, pulled turkey sandwiches, etc.... You can make pizza with it too. I made chicken alfredo with spinach pizza a few weeks ago, but the recipe originally called for shredded turkey. I think the recipe was on the cooking light website.0

You guys are going to love me, lol.
I use limited amounts of meat and lots of herbs and vegetables. We also do 2 turkeys because the price is good:
sandwich meat
stir fry
pot pie
turkey & rice soup
turkey noodle
turkey cabbage rolls
turkey stock
After I've stripped off as much meat as I can from the bird, I crack the bones and they go into my stock pot for 6 hours. Instead of throwing out or composting vegetable trimmings, I freeze them. When I'm ready to make stock they get dumped into the pot. I toss herbs from my garden and some seasoning in and let it simmer for 6 hours. Depending on how much room I've got, it either goes into the freezer or I pull out the pressure cooker and can it.0
