Three ways to enjoy your leftover turkey

28th December 2020 by Expat Living 4 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/christmas-leftover-turkey-recipes-boxing-day/

Need some ideas for livening up your Christmas leftovers? Expat Kitchen shares three different leftover turkey recipes to enjoy your turkey on Boxing Day and beyond.

Savoury morning after Turkey turnovers

Makes 12 turnovers

Turkey recipes

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes or pumpkin
• 2 cups leftover stuffing
• 2 cups leftover turkey, chopped or shredded
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Coriander for garnish
• Optional: tzatziki yogurt dip to accompany turnovers

Note: Feel free to use any other leftover meat or veggies in this recipe!

Instructions:

1. Lightly beat eggs, onions, potatoes, stuffing and turkey, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet at medium heat.

3. Scoop ½ cup of the mixture into the pan, and gently press and turn using a spatula. Fry on each side for about three minutes until golden brown.

4. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

5. Drain on paper towel, then serve warm

Turkey Thai chicken curry

Makes six servings

Turkey recipes

Ingredients for green curry paste:

• 3 large, fresh green chillies, seeds removed and roughly chopped
• Optional: 2 small green or red chilli padi (this will give it a spicy kick, so adjust according to taste)
• 4 whole spring onions, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 4 stems of fresh lemongrass (white part only), chopped
• 1 cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons prawn paste (can substitute with Marmite or Vegemite for seafood allergies)
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt

Note: The curry paste can be made up to one week ahead if stored in an airtight container, and can be refrigerated or frozen for four months.

Additional ingredients:

• 750g shredded leftover Christmas turkey
• 250g snow peas, left whole
• 500ml coconut cream or milk (low fat coconut milk recommended)
• ½ cup coriander, stems and leaves roughly torn
• 1 teaspoon salt (add more if needed)

Note: Other veggies such as green beans, eggplant, potato, carrot and cauliflower can be added in, too!

Instructions:

1. Blend or process green curry paste ingredients until smooth.

2. Stir green curry paste in pot until fragrant for about one to two minutes.

3. Add snow peas and cook for one to two minutes, stirring continuously; don’t let it burn!

4. Stir in coconut cream and bring to a boil; then let it simmer (uncovered) for one minute or until thickened.

5. Add turkey and cook for five minutes with lid on until it’s heated through.

6. Taste, and add more salt only if necessary.

7. Garnish with coriander sprigs.

8. Serve with rice.

Turkey Cranberry Borek (Pie)

Makes six to eight servings

Turkey recipes

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, sliced
• Olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• ½ to 1 teaspoon chilli flakes, or just enough to taste (or use fresh chilli if you prefer)
• 2 teaspoons ras el hanout (a North African spice mix)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Black pepper
• 650g cooked turkey, shredded (or 800g fresh turkey breast fillet, chopped into cubes)
• 50g dried apricots, coarsely chopped
• 50g dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
• 50g pistachios, coarsely chopped
• 50g ground almonds
• 25g flaked almonds
• 300ml boiling water
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
• 50g melted butter • 8 sheets filo pastry
• Optional: a few fresh cranberries for decoration

You will also need:

• A deep-sided cake tin, ideally spring loaded
• A pastry brush

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

Instructions for filling:

1. Fry olive oil and onion in a deep frying pan for five minutes until softened, but not browned.

2. Add the garlic, chilli, black pepper, cinnamon and ras el hanout, and fry for an additional minute; add the cooked, shredded turkey, apricots, cranberries, pistachios, ground almonds and water, and stir thoroughly.

Note: If your turkey isn’t cooked, simply panfry the cubed fresh turkey breast for about 5 minutes, or until cooked through, then shred and continue with step #2.

3. Simmer gently for about three minutes until the sauce thickens, then turn off the heat.

Instructions for pie:

1. Brush the tin with melted butter and lay the first sheet of filo in the dish so that it covers the base and some of the side, with the rest hanging over the sides. Brush more melted butter over the parts of the pastry that are touching the tin, and lay another sheet of filo half overlapping the first one, but covering the entire base. Then, continue around the tin until the base is covered with seven layers of filo and all of the sides are covered (and you have lots of pastry flopping over the sides with melted butter between each layer!). Save one sheet of filo for the top.

2. Pour all filling inside the pie, then fold the hanging flaps back in, scrunching the filo as you do so. Brush with melted butter, then take the last sheet of filo, scrunch it up and place on top. Give the top a really good brush of butter, then place your pie in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

3. Remove the pie from the oven and scatter with flaked almonds. Return the pie to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and nicely browned on top.

4. Serve with salad or as part of a Boxing Day spread

We love hearing where our readers live so each month we ask residents to talk about their homes and neighbourhoods to help others who are living in Singapore make a better decision. 

Moving is always pretty stressful, so it’s good to get some recommendations first. 

This month Marina Matthews talks about living at Laguna Park condo off Marine Parade on the East Coast.

To tan or not to tan, that is the question! 

We all know that extended hours under the sun is no good for the skin, and there can be damage from both good old-fashioned sunbathing and indoor tanning. 

Check out our website where we look at why people want that bronzy glow plus the risks of tanning and how top aesthetic treatments from Amaris B Clinic can help rewind some of the damage like sun spots, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and even cellulite

East Coast restaurants – specifically in Katong and Joo Chiat – have always been known for their good food. More recently though, the area has seen a rise in great cafes, specialty grocers, Italian cuisine and bakeries (with fresh sourdough!). 

From East Coast brunch cafes and alfresco restaurants, to bars and gourmet supermarkets, we have a list of the top East Coast food options to try on the home page of our website (link in bio). 

And if it’s not your neighbourhood, nothing is that far away in Singapore. You can walk along the coast or look at funky shophouses before or after and make it an outing!
