Leftover Turkey Recipe:
Sweet and Sour Turkey

Another leftover turkey recipe, this one adds a little sweet and sour to the bird.

I love turkey, as most of us do, and leftovers are wonderful. But there are just so many times you want to eat hot turkey sandwiches and casseroles.

It's nice to take a break from the regular casserole type turkey leftovers, as good as they are.

This recipe is a nice change.

Sweet and Sour Turkey (or Chicken)

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced celery
1 red or green pepper, sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 19oz can pineapple chunks
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup sweet mixed pickle liquid
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 cup sweet mixed pickles, quartered

Sauté vegetables in butter until tender-crisp.

Drain pineapple reserving juice. Add water to make up 2 cups liquid. Stir into mixture of sugar and cornstarch until smooth.

Add mixture to vegetables with pickle liquid, ketchup and soy sauce. Cook stirring constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Add pineapple, turkey, and pickles. Heat through and serve over cooked rice.

Makes 6 servings
