Turkey questions

[sherrardk]

I have ordered a 4kg turkey crown - bit late now, but is that huge or small?

Also, does anyone have any quick, easy, child-friendly leftover turkey recipes (I am having my shopping delivered so want to be organised and get in any ingredients I might need)? Thanks

Turkey kebabs....cold turkey cut into cubes, cherry tomatoes, cubes of cold stuffing. You don't say how old the children are but these are fun and festive xx

Thanks all - their are 7 of us (2 grown ups and 1 x 10 year old, 1 x (nearly) 7 year old, 1 x 5 year old and 2 x 2 year old). My father might come up one day so I could feed some to him. Didn't want to get a mean little thing but now I think 4kg sounds huge (considering there are no bones).

Turkey cubes with vegetable rice - spice it up a bit for the grownups with spicy sauce on the top.

Heck, if you have loads over, freeze it. As long as you don't freeze it more than once.

Thanks Buenchico - they look ideal (and as I have a recently purchased sandwich press I could use that to cook them in).

You can google Jamie Olivers sweet leek and turkey pie, it's a fabulous recipe (I just put a regular pastry lid on it)
My kids hate leeks but strangely will eat this!

yes, leek and turkey pie is really nice.
my cousin always makes what she calls creamed turkey on boxing day. she makes a basic white sauce (or you could cheat and use a packet or some bisquick) and adds cream and wine then stirs in chopped or shredded cooked turkey and spreads it on toast. you could use it cold as a sandwich filling, or make a toasted sandwich with it.
