My in-laws bought a bunch of food for Easter dinner and are going out of town immediately afterwards, so they gave me a big bag of turkey breasts and drumsticks. I think this means I can get by with just going to the grocery store for a few staples like milk, and stocking up on produce at the farmer’s market.
I turned to one of my favorite food blogs, Kalyn’s Kitchen, to find some ideas for leftover turkey recipes, so they are playing a large part in this week’s menu.
Organic Butternut Squash Ravioli in a Brown Butter Sage Sauce – the ravioli was found in the frozen section of a local health food market at a decent price
Slow Cooker Turkey – it’s starting to get really warm here, so I won’t have to use the oven and heat up the whole kitchen to make my turkey
Turkey & Cannellini Beans Soup with Rosemary and Sweet Potatoes
Coconut Lime Turkey Soup I love Thai inspired flavors
I know I’m making a lot of soups lately, but it’s easy to make a big batch and then I have leftovers that reheat well to take to work.
Here are my thoughts on last week’s new recipes:
Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes and Black Beans Burritos Loved this! Even my husband enjoyed the burritos without any meat.
Slow Cooker Honey Hoisin Chicken I would make this again, it only took a few minutes to prep everything for the crockpot

Thanks for sharing these yummy recipes. It is neat to find something else to do with the leftover turkey, instead of having turkey sandwiches :]
The sweet potato and black bean burritos look so good. Thank you.
There are some good recipes here, thank you for sharing. I will be trying some for sure.
We always have left over turkey, thanks for the great ideas.

Yes, I hate to throw out food! I think menu planning has helped me plan ahead for leftovers so I waste less.

You can make bus filled with turkey and bbq sauce.
I love making soups to have throughout the week too. I never have time to make a real lunch, so that soup comes in handy! And I save so much money over when I used to buy frozen lunches all the time.

Thank you for the great post. I don’t eat a lot of turkey other than holidays, but a lot of these recipes would be great with chicken too.
Thanks for the great post. We love turkey here and I end up making a huge turkey for only the 5 of us. They sound so yummy!
We have done the sweet potato and black bean burritos before and they are wonderful! They are actually some of my kids favorite quick meals!
