Turkey is such a fantastic, lean meat, it’s a real shame most people only eat it over the festive season. Whether you’re searching for some turkey based dishes to use Christmas leftovers or seeking delicious turkey recipes that can be eaten at any time of year, this foodpanda guide offers all the information you need.
Turkey salad
Use pre-roasted turkey breast meat or leg meat in any type of salad for added taste and protein. Simply shred your meat finely, prepare a tasty dressing, then add the shredded turkey and dressing to your salad! Simple, and an ideal working lunch to ensure you maintain your energy levels throughout the day.
Turkey pho
Use turkey stock, two breasts of turkey, and fish stock to create the perfect pho. You simply need to fry your turkey breasts for a couple of minutes, then cut the meat into thin strips and add to your normal pho recipe using either noodles or beansprouts.
Coronation turkey with salad
You’ve probably eaten Coronation chicken dishes in the past, and Coronation turkey is another healthy meal option that can be prepared and served in just a couple of minutes. Use pre-cooked turkey meat and cut into small chunks. This meat should then be combined with yogurt, mango chutney, mayonnaise, curry powder, sultanas and lemon juice. You need to ensure all the meat is covered in the sauce then serve it on top of mixed salads. Top the dish with some toasted, flaked almonds for a little extra crunch!
There are lots more ways you can use turkey to create quick turkey based dishes that are ideal for midweek, whether you’re cooking for family or friends. Turkey in a white sauce is ideal for pies, and when you use frozen puff pastry, this dish is really simple to make. Serve your hot turkey pie with selected veggies for a healthy meal, offering all essential proteins and vitamins. Alternatively, you can mince cooked turkey and use selected spices to create fragrant meatballs which can be served in a sauce of your own choice. Another quick and easy meal suggestion that’s ideal for using up cooked turkey meats is to create wraps. Children adore making their own wraps, so you simply need to warm a few tortilla wraps and lay out a selection of salads, sauces, and veggies with thinly sliced turkey meat or chunks and allow your kids to create their own delicious, handmade turkey wraps! Enjoy……
