Turkey Make-Over (What to do with the Leftovers)

 
Oh the joyful abundance of food at the Thanksgiving table! Then there is the quick and tasty turkey sandwich to have the next day but what in the world do we do with the leftovers after that?  This is a variation on my mother's recipe.  I like to use those small pieces that you have picked off the turkey after the nice cuts. 


Spread the turkey pieces in a casarole dish.  Sprinkle leftover (if you have them) fried onion pieces on top.  Then cover this with UNDILUTED Golden Mushroom soup.  I used 1.5 cans to make plenty of gravy.  Next you grab the leftover mashed potatoes (sweet pototoes should work well also) and snip the end off the plastic storage bag.  Squeeze out the potatoes in a somewhat appitizing display.  Put the pan into the oven to brown the potatoes as much as you want and heat the ingredients - whatever amount of time you can spare since everything is already cooked. 

No need to add seasonings since this was done when you first prepared the foods.  The soup keeps the meat from drying out and add a new level of flavor to the traditional tastes you've enjoyed in prior days.
