Money is in short supply for many families, it’s important that every penny counts and waste is eliminated. This is especially true during the holidays. Whether the holiday is Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or another holiday, family holidays should be filled with fun not concern over the bills.
One of the ways that families can save money is on the holiday meal. In part, this involves buying wisely, making use of everything purchased, and storing some things for later.
Quick And Creamy Leftover Turkey Pies The holiday was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the turkey for the first few days. After that, you start to see grimaces and hear groans when you mention turkey sandwiches. So if you can't serve sandwiches, how do you use up all of the leftover turkey? Here is a quick and creamy leftover turkey pie recipe that will make your family forget they are eating leftovers. Ingredients: 1 (10 oz.) can condensed minestrone soup 3/4 C of milk 4 teaspoons flour (or thicken with corn starch) 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 C cooked turkey, cubed 1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, cubed 1 (5 ct.) pkg. refrigerated country style biscuits Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the soup into a saucepan and place over medium heat. In a bowl, add milk flour and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are combined. Pour the milk mixture into the soup. Cook the mixture stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Stir the turkey into the mixture. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring often, until the cheese has melted. Pour the mixture into 4 ungreased 10 oz. baking (individual souffle) cups. Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit into 5 pieces. Top each baking cup with 5 pieces of biscuit. Place the cups in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden on top. Serve with a green salad. Serves 4 Throwing out leftover turkey is not only wasteful but it can really make you feel guilty.
