After Thanksgiving Turkey & Cream

November 25, 2016 by theunmanlychef

Thanksgiving is OVER! COME ON XMAS!!

But wait you still have a copious amount of leftover turkey in your fridge from the stuff your face fest we call Thanksgiving. What do you do? Well you could make sandwiches (LAME), or you could make a creation so damn delicious you’ll be wishing you actually had this on turkey day instead of that stupid bird!

This recipe combines everything I love about Thanksgiving, sides and meat, slammed into one delicious creation.

The premise is simple, I essentially make a delicious pot pie filling without the pie, feel free to add pie crust to this creation. The end result is this savory creamy bowl of heaven that you wont be able to stop eating.

So enjoy this delicious Turkey and Cream comfort food sensation.
