Here Come the Leftovers

The following would be a good use of leftover turkey (in place of the chicken):

 

Turkey & Tortellini Stew

Re: Chicken & Tortellini Stew from Campbell's Kitchen

 

1 TBS cornstarch

1 TBS water

2 TBS vegetable oil

3/4 LB skinless, boneless chicken turkey breast, cut into cubes

1 C frozen sliced carrot

1 C frozen cut green beans

3/4 C chopped onion

6 C Chicken Broth

1 C dried cheese-filled tortellini

2 TBS chopped fresh parsley (optional)

 

Stir the cornstarch and water in a small cup until smooth. Set the mixture aside. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken. Add the remaining oil to the saucepot. Add the carrots, beans and onions. Cook over medium-heat until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in the broth. Heat to a boil. Add the tortellini and parsley, if desired. Cook for ten minutes or until the tortellini is tender. Return the chicken to the saucepot and heat through. Stir the cornstarch mixture and stir it into the saucepot. Cook and stir until the mixture boils and thickens slightly. Serves 6.

Our turkey day was filled with traditional roasted turkey and stuffing, along with Uncle Pat's Crab Cocktail, Sweet Potato Casserole (subbed with canned yams), Green Bean-Mushroom Casserole, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.

 

It's time for a long, well-satisfied nap . . .
