Vintage Recipe - Turkey Leftovers


I have several bags of leftover turkey in my freezer and another turkey to cook!  I've begun to scan recipes to find some new ideas for the turkey.  Here's one I found in an old notebook.  I've altered it a bit by putting the canned dough.  I also plan on making it with low fat and low sodium ingredients to make it better for us.


INDIVIDUAL TURKEY MUSHROOM PIES (pot pies)
 
 
2 cans    condensed cream of mushroom soup  
1/2 cup    milk  
2 cups    cubed, cooked turkey  
1 cup    canned peas  
1/4 cup    chopped pimiento  

  Salt and pepper to taste  
24 cubes    cooked potatoes  
8   small onions, cooked  
1 Can    Biscuit dough (or make fresh)  
 
1 Mix soup and milk until creamy, then add turkey, peas, and pimiento; . dishes..
2 Place three cubes of potato and one onion in individual casseroles or pie dishes. season with salt and pepper. Add mushroom and turkey mixture.
3 Roll out biscuit dough cut to fit tops of casseroles. Perforate to allow steam to escape, and fit over filled casseroles.
4 Bake in hot oven (425°) 20 min-utes, until dough is lightly browned.
 
Servings: 8
Yield: 8 individual pot pies
Preparation time: 20 minutes

More Vintage Turkey Information

Well, I promised the rest of the turkey info the 1947 Wisconsin Michigan Power Company Holiday Book and didn't deliver very promptly, so you'll get it all in this entry.  My scanner is working well at saving the text, but I thought everyone would enjoy it more seeing the original pages.

Simply click on the pages to read.

Vintage Turkey Tips Part I

I have begun to finish scanning my collections of recipes. I wanted to share the 1947 Wisconsin Michigan Power Company Holiday Book turkey ideas. Remember, use your own judgement when reading suggestions and recipes. I never stuff my bird with dressing. I put that in bread pans. My bird gets an apple and an onion in the cavity to keep it moist. Here is the first of 4 pages on Turkey.
