Sweet Mesquite Turkey Slew

We are grateful for modern, tasty ways to put Thanksgiving leftovers to use.  

Sweet Mesquite Turkey Stew

• Yield: 6-8 Servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups leftover turkey in bite sized pieces
• 1 lb. potatoes cubed and cooked
• 1 lb. carrots sliced and cooked
• 1 jar Sweet Mesquite Slow Cooker Sauce

Instructions

Place all ingredients in slow cooker, stir, and cook on low for 3-6 hours. Serve with Bountiful Beer Bread or Perfect Parmesan Biscuits.

Tips & Hints

• Bake (or cook) a few extra potatoes on Thanksgiving, so you can use the leftovers in this recipe.
• Feel free to use frozen potatoes and/or carrots – microwave as directed, then toss ‘em in the slow cooker.
•This can also be made on the stove top – simply combine all ingredients in a large pan and simmer until heated through.
• I prefer the slow cooker method to the stove top method. Even though everything is already cooked, the flavors blend beautifully when you give this a nice, slow simmer.

• Cooking Method: Slow Cooker

Deep Dish Quiche Pizza (Pizza without all the carbs was a hit at my house!)

Deep Dish Quiche Pizza

This was my first go at crustless (so to speak) pizza.  It had great flavor, almost no carbs & can be customized to your families favorite toppings!  I cooked it for about half the cooking time for both cooking steps. I didn't have Italian blend cheese so I made my own by adding Italian Garlic Bread Seasoning to my cheese.  I'm a big fan of using up what is on hand.

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. Garlic Garlic
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
15 oz. can pizza sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
20 slices (2 oz) pepperoni

Beat first 2 ingredients with mixer until
smooth. Add next 4 ingredients; blend. In a
greased 9 x 13 baking dish place the Italian
blend cheese; top with egg mixture. Bake at
375° for 30-40 minutes or until well
browned. Remove from oven and cool 10
minutes. Before serving spread on pizza
sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella and layer
with pepperoni. Bake an additional 10
minutes at 375° until toppings are warm and
cheese is slightly browned. Makes 6-8
servings.
