I don’t know about you, but for me the best part about the days following Thanksgiving are all the yummy leftovers. I was lucky enough to not have to cook the meal this year (my SIL took on the job and put together an amazing spread!) but I did still manage to snag a bag of leftover turkey and we’ve since been having our fill of some amazing sandwiches.
The time will most likely come, however, when you’ve had enough of turkey sandwiches. If you’ve reached that point along with me, then it’s time to check out a yummy one dish meal that I’ve cooked up for just such an occasion.
This dish makes quick work of any leftover bird you have lying around and tastes delicious to boot! If you make it during other parts of the year when you don’t have leftover turkey available, simply substitute ground turkey in it’s place. I actually used ground turkey in the pictures as this recipe was made before the big bird eating day. Either works well and makes a hearty one dish meal.
Before moving on to the recipe, I just want to give a shout out to my good blogging friend Rebecca over at Chow and Chatter. She has put together an amazing foodie app for your iphone with hundreds of delicious and healthy recipes. Guys, she’s one of us and we need to support her! I’ve put a link to her app over on my side bar and will have it up there for the next week or two. If you get a chance, click on over and take a look at all the hard work she’s done. The app is amazing and at an affordable price of only 99 cents, if you have an iphone you can’t afford not to support her!
Ingredients Needed:
1 Pound of Ground Turkey or 3 Cups of Leftover Turkey
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 Onion, Chopped
1 Pepper, Chopped
1 tsp of Garam Masala*
1 tsp of Paprika
1 tsp of Cumin
1 tsp of Coriander
1/2 tsp of Ginger
1/2 tsp of Curry
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes
1 Cup of Chicken or Turkey Broth
10 Oz. of Frozen Spinach or 1 Bag of Fresh
1 Cup of Sour Cream
6 Oz. of Egg Noodles, Cooked
*Can be found at an Indian/international grocery store or possibly in the international section of your grocery store. You can also make your own through a recipe I found HERE.
If you’re using ground turkey, start out by browning it up, then adding in your garlic, onion, and pepper. Cook it for 3-4 minutes. If you’re using leftover cooked turkey, cook up the garlic, onion, and pepper in a tablespoon of oil for 3-4 minutes on medium heat and then add in the turkey.
Next you’ll add in your spices; the garam masala, paprika, cumin, ginger, curry and coriander. Add in your tomatoes and stir it all together.
Next up you’ll add in the stock and let it cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add in your spinach and give it a whirl or two until it heats up and wilts down into your meal.
Now stir in your cup of sour cream.
The final step is to add in your noodles.
I tell ya, Thanksgiving leftovers never had it so good.

What a great way to handle your leftovers. Thanks for sharing this.
Have a great week ahead

This looks amazing! And very flavorful! Can’t wait to try this 🙂
Looks tasty.
I made a good leftover casserole too. It was pretty good. It had turkey, cream of mushroom, broccoli, celery, and boxed stuffing. I ended up freezing most of it.
You are awesome, and this looks yummy!!
Julie, great way to use the turkey leftover…looks delicious!
Wow, this is one serious keeper Julie, thanks for sharing. I am loving all these creative leftover recipes more than the big old turkey itself 🙂 We too always have turkey for our Christmas, so can’t wait to try this out.
Oh wow that looks really good. We don’t have any leftovers because of traveling for Thanksgiving. But I love that this can be made all year round with the ground turkey. I’ll have to give it a try for sure.
That’s one tasty leftover meal! I like the addition of spices and spinach to the dish, giving it a nice color.
PS – It’s nice to have someone else cook the turkey 😉
Great leftovers dish!
This looks so yummy! My mom makes a similar recipe (but without the sour cream). I’m going to have to give this version a try because you can never go wrong with some creaminess! Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!
Alwasy looking for a good leftover turkey or chicken recipe. This one sounds wonderful and at the same different from all the others; great photos too lure us in…true comfort food
Sadly our turkey is long gone, but this sounds like a delicious meal for any time! Love that you sneaked the veggies in! 🙂
Hopefully this will work with very dry turkey! 🙂
too bad my leftovers are gon!!
Never had goulash, but it looks good!
This looks and sounds delicious! Now i know what to do with the turkey leftovers that are still hanging around! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
My mother is always making some kind of goulash recipe especially right after the holidays. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s not so good, but I still love her. I’ll have to pass this recipe along to her because it sounds really good.
Ooooh! I make a delicious beef goulash all the time but never have tried it with turkey! We didn’t get any turkey leftovers since I don’t make the turkey at my family Thanksgivings (my mother does), but I would still love to try this!
Congrats on your featured recipe! Looks fantastic! 🙂
Your recipe was posted.
Love this recipe! Will be linking back to this in my upcoming post 🙂
