It is the week of Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday!) and while you’re probably worrying about other things right now besides leftover turkey, you’ll want to save this page for the day after Thanksgiving when you have loads of leftover turkey to use up.  And since you will have spent so much time in the kitchen on the days leading up to Turkey Day, you’ll want SUPER quick and easy recipes that won’t require you to do much besides turn a switch to low.

8 Slow Cooker Recipes that Use Leftover Turkey


1. Slow Cooker Creamy Wild Rice and Turkey Soup: Creamy and comforting

This thick and creamy wild rice and chicken soup is a crowd pleaser!

2.  Healthy Chicken Turkey and Barley Soup: This is one of my favorite soups of all time.  Just use cooked turkey in the place of chicken in this recipe!

    ok.. most of these require chicken, not turkey although it can be substituted but I was seriously looking for leftover recipes and instead get these that don’t have leftover turkey. I read that hummus with orzo over and over again and realized the meat is fresh, you have to cook it. It’s not leftover. You really need to make some huge changes on this page and change the meta tags because this isn’t turkey primarily nor are they leftovers but that’s what your meta tags say.

      same as above. I’m looking specifically for turkey leftovers and different things too. Most of these are soups, that really isn’t all that creative.
