After a holiday do you still have lots of turkey left?  Our family loves to have Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner the next day, after that it’s time for a change.  I cut up the turkey meat and freeze it in 2 cup portions.  I also like to can the meat in pint jars.  Both work well and I always have meat that’s ready for a stir fry or casserole.
But our favorite meal to make is chicken/turkey and dumplings.  Check out my post here to see how I make mine.
Another favorite is turkey and broccoli pie.  Here is my recipe.

Turkey(or chicken) Broccoli Pie
Half a kg package of frozen chopped broccoli
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 onion diced
2 cups diced turkey
1 cup quick mix (bisquick type mix)
4 eggs
2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1/5 tsp pepper
Thaw broccoli under hot water and drain well.  Place in a food processor and chop fine.
Mix together broccoli, chicken, onion and 1 1/2 cups of the cheese.
Press into the bottom of a casserole dish.
Mix together quick mix, eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Pour over top.
Bake for 35 min or until done at 400F.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over top and bake until melted.
