What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Waste Not, Want Not: Turkey Burrito Bowl! If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times…freeze leftover meat for another day. I’m still working on that 22-pound turkey I baked some time ago. You’d certainly never know it by the variety of meals we’ve eaten. Soups, sliders, hash, and the daily special are among the numerous ways we reduce food waste while saving money. By adding fresh produce and grains, using leftover turkey simply becomes a brilliant time saving option. You probably utilize leftovers yourself without even giving it a second thought. I’m thinking stir-fry, casseroles, omelets, and basic sammies. See how easy it is? Just don’t tell the kids.
TURKEY BURRITO BOWL
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
Sides: Avocado, lettuce, red onion, tomato, rice, yogurt, and tortilla corn chips
Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine shredded turkey, garlic powder, kosher salt, orange juice, vinegar, and butter. Transfer to an ovenproof covered dish. Bake 30 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. If necessary, remove lid after 30 minutes to allow the juices to breathe. Serve seasoned turkey with instant rice, tortilla chips, and fresh produce.

We are same wavelength on this count. Leftovers may get a bad rap among some, but that just means they’re not doing it right.
