merry christmas everyone
id like to make a turkey and veg pie with the leftovers, but am not sure how to make a creamy sauce to put in the pie ... anyone have any tips?? my mum used to use a tin of cream of chicken soup, but i have loads of stock/gravy left over so wondered if i could use that in some way?
oh, and we are having left over turkey with everything for the forseeable future ... turkey curry, turkey chilli, turkey n chips, turkey n turkey

You could thicken the stock/gravy with cornflour and make the pie with a gravy

I'm glad to get back to this as I haven't done it for so long.

Boxing day was cold meat and bubble & squeak followed by leftover profiteroles.

27th - Turkey & Ham pie (from leftover turkey & ham of course) with chips
28th - Roast Lamb with roasties & veg, followed by apple crumble
29th - Salmon (bargain buy from tescos) and potatoes
30th - Leftover lamb and whatever else there is
31st - faggots and chips
1st - Gammon
2nd - bolognese

I'm not sure about the accompaniments yet as I need to do a full freezer check (I've been putting this off as my freezer is full to the top). But I'm not shopping again until February (lol) so hopefully I will use it all up before starting again.

We haven't got masses of leftovers here really but we have frozen the other half of the pheasant casserole and the leftover lamb. I think we'll make lamb pasties one day with it and a shepherd's pie another one. I'm afraid that the snacky bits seem to be disappearing down my gullet at an alarming rate but I think that's more to do with the fact that I hardly ate for a week [except for mulligatawny soup and toast and marmite] and am making up for lost time. Think I may need to slow down again though as I'm sure I've now put back on all the weight I lost. Boo hiss!

great thread.

i haven't thought about food. it been a bit of a pickel last couple days as i been ill everythign tastign like cardboard, so no inpiration.

got lots of food i can use, but might be more buffet style meals, as loads fo crackers , cheese , pickles , meats , quiches etc. but the kids love meals like this.

will try and sit down and look in cupboards and see what i can russle up.

Sorry if this thread already exists, but I couldn't find it....

So here it goes our Meal Plan:

Tuesday: Noodle Stir-fry (using up some of the red cabbage we've still got and noodles in the pantry...)

Wednesday: Penne Arrabiata (+ 2 portion for freezer)

Friday: Egg fried Rice with peas and carrots

Saturday: Chickpea and Tomato Curry with Naan from the breadmaker

Sunday: Saitan w. veg and roast potatoes and gravy (out of freezer)

Because I thought long and hard about what I've got my shopping list is rather small:
Cucumber
Carrots
Pasta
Flour
Cheese
Cherry Tomatoes (daughter loves them)
Coffee
Baby Wipes
Bananas
Apples

Woohoo!
