Current Events > What could I make with leftover rotisserie turkey?

(+) Yeah! (+)

About just under half a kilo's worth

Nothing that'd take too long

You could make a Sandwich or a Salad. You could go all Olympian and put it in a blender.

uh...... meat cookies are a thing (theyre good)

or you could just heat it & eat it
thats what I tend to do lol

I feel like if I reheat it it'll dry out

I usually put it in a bowl and put in a little chicken broth to keep it from drying out when I nuke it.

This.

Theres probably a dozen ways to account for it. The problem becomes then that the turkey becomes soggy. An oven is preferable for things that arent supposed to get mushy. Honestly, Im hesitant to ever use the microwave. The way things melt when you leave them in too long doesnt sit right with me.

Same with using fire to cook. Charred black? Isnt that full of carcinogens?

Soup, or sandwich

Another thing I like is a cool one. I have a little microwave steamer thing that came from an instant meal. It's got a small dish with a smaller basket that fits in it. You can put some water or broth in the bottom and the basket holds the food over it so it steams instead of stews. It's a nice quick way to heat things up without soaking it. I will point out my taste on food is pretty basic and I'm fairly easy to please. lol.

Sandwich off course.

Or, I've just drizzled some olive oil on a plate, sprinkle on some garlic, and just eat the turkey like it were bread. I've done that with chicken many times.

Taco

Good choice!

You could also use it to top a salad.

Make like a shepherd's pie, but using the turkey instead of hamburger. And mix in gravy instead of sweet corn, and top it with stuffing instead of potatoes.

Pot pie

Curry.

All of these take too much time

I have an hour of free time max and I don't want to spend too much of it cooking

Then do the plate and Olive Oil and Garlic thing.

~I guess you never told us what you have on hand to work with.
1 Kilo is kind of a lot.

Yeah, that's entirely on me. I had no idea what I was getting into

A sandwich is not too much time
