Turkey Enchiladas

Go Mexican the day after this American tradition. In a casserole dish, combine a half-pound of cut-up turkey meat with a cup of salsa, a half-cup of olives and a teaspoon of garlic powder. Heat in the microwave for two minutes. In the meantime, heat up several tortillas on a pan over the kitchen stove and preheat the over to 350 degrees. Spread a little cream cheese on the tortillas. When finished, spoon the turkey and salsa mixture onto the tortillas and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortillas in half. Place the enchiladas in a deep-dish pan, sprinkle top of tortillas with a little shredded cheese, and heat in the oven for five minutes or until cheese is melted.

Turkey and Cranberry Sandwiches

Turkey and Pasta

Slice chunks of turkey and mix with a handful of your favorite pasta.  Stir in two teaspoons of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Heat in the microwave for a minute-and-a-half and stir.

Turkey Salad

Add chunks of warm turkey to your favorite salad.  Served best with a few shredded argula leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. For a more traditional taste, add a few spoonfuls of cranberry sauce as a salad dressing.
