Day After Turkey Day Sheherds Pie Food

TURKEY SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the onions and cook until just starting to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground turkey and then sprinkle in the salt, paprika and garlic powder. Cook, breaking up clumps of the turkey with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 6 minutes. Add the gravy, corn, lima beans, parsley, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Reduce the heat to a simmer; simmer for about 3 minutes.
• While the filling simmers, stir together the potatoes, cheese and eggs in a large bowl, making sure it is thoroughly mixed. Layer the potatoes on top of the filling in the skillet. Bake the shepherd's pie until bubbling and golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes.

THANKFUL SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Place a rack on the top of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Press the dough into a pie plate, prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and flute the edges. Bake the crust until golden, about 10 minutes.
• Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup of the gravy and the milk, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the turkey, carrots, corn, peas, parsley, thyme, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, making sure all of the ingredients are evenly coated with the gravy. Simmer until the mixture is warmed through, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the mixture, making sure the potato layer meets the edges of the crust. Cover the potatoes with the cheese. Bake the pie until the top is golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
• To serve, cut into slices and drizzle with gravy.

DAY AFTER TURKEY DAY PANINI

Steps:

• Spread some cold gravy over one side of each slice of bread. Heat the rest of the gravy and use for dipping! On one piece of bread layer turkey and dressing/stuffing and cheese if desired. Top with some cranberry sauce and season with sage, salt and pepper if desired. Place other bread slice of top, gravy side down.
• Butter the outside of the sandwich on the each side. I butter the top of the sandwich and then lay the sandwich in the preheated pan with that buttered side now on the bottom. Now butter the new 'top' of the sandwich, close or cover and weigh down and toast til done.
• Toast to golden brown in a panini press or in a cast iron skillet with another pot or pan on top of sandwich with a heavy can weighing it down to 'press' the sandwich.

DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER

Steps:

• Mix together the stuffing and mashed potatoes.
• Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
• With your hands, form 1-1/2 to 2 inch balls (patties will work as well).
• Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through and a bit crunchy on the outside (about 15-20 minutes).
• While the stuffing balls are baking, make a roux, as follows:.
• Sift the flour, salt, pepper and thyme together.
• Melt the butter.
• Add the seasoned flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each. (I use a whisk to keep the consistency smooth.).
• When the roux is smooth and bubbling, remove from heat and slowly add chicken broth, stirring and incorporating after each addition.
• Stir in the gravy and the milk.
• Return to heat and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth.
• Stir in the turkey pieces and heat through. (At this point, you can add more of any of the liquids if the sauce is too thick.)
• Serve the turkey and gravy sauce over the crunchy stuffing balls. Any leftover vegetables can be served with the meal or a green salad would be a great compliment. And don't forget the cranberry sauce!
