Turkey Picadillo
Meaning mincemeat in Spanish, picadillo is traditionally made with beef or pork, but it's just as tasty with turkey. Served "Cuban style" over rice and beans or topped with taco fixings like lettuce, tomatoes and onions, it's an excellent use for leftover turkey that the whole family will love. For a spicier dish, add 1 teaspoon chipotle adobo sauce along with the tomatoes.

Turkey with Sweet Potato Dumplings
A new take on chicken and dumplings made with Thanksgiving leftovers. For leftover vegetables, choose green beans, carrots, peas, broccoli or others that were cooked simply with few other ingredients. You can cook a turkey breast for this, but if you use leftover turkey from a whole bird, the cost per serving will be even less!

Roasted Lemon-Herb Chicken
This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children. One of the biggest complaints about chicken is that the breast tends to dry out during cooking. In this recipe, brining the meat overnight makes it moist and extremely flavorful. If you decide to use boneless chicken it's only necessary to brine it for 2 to 3 hours. This is a good choice for school lunch as long as your child's lunch box contains an ice pack.

Mushroom and Swiss Patty Melt with Peas
We used ground turkey breast meat here, but feel free to use thigh meat or a mix of the two. The darker thigh meat has a little more flavor, but also a little more fat. This method also works using a chicken, beef or veggie burger.
