Turkey lurking?

I'm willing to bet there are a pile of turkey left overs hiding in your fridge. Here are a couple of different ways to use them up.

I got this idea from a sandwich I had in a Cuban resturant on our trip to Florida. The sandwich was called "Elena Ruz": On some good bread spread cream cheese, strawberry preserves (or cranberry sauce) and sliced turky. Toast lightly. Really good...



We went snorkling after we had our Cuban lunch.

Here's another turkey idea. My kids abolutely love this one. It works with chircken too, so sometimes I'll make up some chicken just for this recipe:

Turkey and Cranberry Couscous
Heat 2 C of chicken broth to boiling. As a 10 ounce package of couscous, 1/2 c dried cranberries, 1 T dried minced onions or 2 minced green onions, 2 finely chopped ribs of celery (optional). Remove from heat, cover and let stand 5 minutes. Then chop 1 cup of turkey meat, 1 large apple (Gala and Breburn are good choices) and 1/2 C pecans, almonds or cashews. (I like to toast th enuts, but you don't have to). Mix the dressing: 1/4 C olive oil, 3 T red wine vinegar, 2 t dijon mustard, 1 t sugar, 1/4 t thyme, 1/2 t salt, pepper to taste. Toss couscous with all of the above. Fluff with fork and serve.

Enjoy!
