What to do with leftover meat from the Thanksgiving Day turkey

You will need 2 to 3 cups of shredded bite-sized turkey meat.

TURKEY POT PIE

Start with olive oil in a large pot and add 1 cup of chopped onion, 2 cups of chopped leek, 1 cup of chopped potato. Add 3 cups of turkey stock, or chicken, whichever is convenient and bring to a boil. Salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 20 minutes until potato is soft. You can either puree in a blender or crush the ingredients with a potato masher for a more rustic feel. Add your favorite herb or seasoning; examples are cumin and saffron, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf, or you can even go with curry. Add the turkey meat and let simmer for 20 minutes more. Stir in a ¼ cup of cream and serve. I like to sprinkle cayenne pepper over the soup as a garnish. Enjoy.
