Here's an easy one:
Chop a small yellow onion (of half a large one) and a couple of ribs of
celery. Saute in 2 Tbsp butter a large saucepan until the onion looks
done but still has a little crunch to it. Add the noodles from a box of
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (blue box), 2 cups of water, 1 chicken
bouillon cube, and about 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper. Chop or
tear up a bunch of cooked chicken or turkey and add it. Cover and cook
over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the cheeze powder, a pinch of
basil, and stir and continue cooking until the noodles are done. If it
gets too dry, add a little milk. Stir in a handful of frozen peas
(optional) and top with a little grated cheese (optional).
Serves about 4.

You can also use it to make turkey salad:
Chop the cooked turkey meat very fine. Add a dollop of mayonnaise and a
pinch of salt. Mash with a spoon until the mayo is thoroughly mixed
into the turkey. Stir in a bunch of pickle relish and Miracle Whip
until it looks right. Add a pinch of dillweed, if desired. It's good
served with Triscuit or Chicken In a Biscuit crackers.

Or just slice thin and use for turkey or club sandwiches, with lots of
mayo, lettuce, and tomato slices to make up for the dryness of the meat.

I was thinking about what to do with the rest of the
turkey(s) last night. I've already made turkey pot pie and
turkey tetrazini - I'm thinking about turkey crepes and
turkey enchalidas.

the Turkey Chopped Salad looks good.

Most of my leftovers are frozen, but I still have some
stuffing (I'm the only one who likes it at my house) and
breast meat to deal with.

That's a good idea! I have plenty of turkey stock... I've
made the chicken based King Ranch recipe from scratch many
times, so making one with turkey shouldn't be a problem.

Wooohooo!
