LEFTOVER TURKEY HASH



Leftover Turkey Hash image

This Thanksgiving, we're thinking up lots of creative ways to repurpose those leftovers (and feed the family for days on end). Because let's face it, turkey sandwiches can get old, especially when they're all you've been eating for three days straight. But don't worry. We've got a new way for you to bring life to that leftover turkey. Turn the leftover bird into a hearty breakfast everyone will gobble up with our Day-After-Thanksgiving Turkey Hash.The heart and soul of this recipe is the potatoes, which are cooked in bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet until lightly brown. Onions, bell peppers, and garlic are added to form a dynamic (and colorful) hash. A splash of red wine vinegar might seem unusual, but it adds a tangy note and helps balance out the richness of the bacon. Pair the leftover shredded turkey with hot, crumbled bacon for double the fun (in this dish, a little bacon grease brings a big punch of flavor). Fry up some sunny-side eggs to top the hash and you've got a whole meal in one skillet.

TURKEY HASH

A good use for turkey leftovers--I've made this after Thanksgiving for decades. Amounts are approximate estimates. Nowadays I often cut the butter to 1 Tbs or just use nonstick cooking spray in place of butter.

TURKEY HASH - THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS



Turkey Hash - Thanksgiving Leftovers image

This is a great way to reinvent boring turkey leftovers. Making a hash from leftover mashed potatoes and turkey is genius. Cooking down the onions really has a punch of flavor. I love the crunch on the outside of the hash. Serving a fried egg on top sends this over the top. A great breakfast, but it's hearty enough for dinner too.

Number Of Ingredients 6

- chopped cooked turkey
- mashed potatoes
- chopped onions
- olive oil
- salt/pepper if desired
- a fried egg for the top of each serving

Steps:

  • Check out your leftovers pile in the fridge. Grab the turkey scraps. Grab the mashed potatoes. Grab an onion.
  • Heat up a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add some olive oil to the pan (enough the lightly coat the bottom). Toss in some chopped onion. Enough for the amount of turkey and potatoes you plan to use.
  • Once the onions are tender, add the turkey and stir it around.
  • Throw in some mashed potatoes until you think it's enough.
  • Cover the pan with a lid or some foil and leave it alone for 5 minutes.
  • Scrape up the hash from the bottom of the pan and turn it over, or stir it around. Leave it alone for 5 more minutes, covered. You can turn off the heat. Check seasonings.
  • Check the seasoning. Dish it up with a fried egg. It's soooo good!
