We cooked a 20lb turkey for 4 people and have a lot left over, which is in freezer in ziplock bags each holding, approximately, 2 pounds meat.
Next time I make chili, I can put in a bag, but what other meal suggestions would folks suggest?
 
If you're not counting calories I suggest Emeril's turkey tetrazzini. I am making it tonight. My daughter is heading back to college and it is one of her favorite meals.

Turkey chilaquiles. Use this recipe as a basic guideline and riff off it to your liking. I've never had a single person not enjoy these (or my chicken recipe).

Also, couple of fried eggs on top makes for a great breakfast or brunch meal.

"[Turkey] is the fruit of the [hardwood forest]. You can barbecue it, boil it (don't recommend, but bear with me.), broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, turkey-kabobs, turkey creole, turkey gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple turkey, lemon turkey, coconut turkey, pepper turkey, turkey soup, turkey stew, turkey salad, turkey and potatoes, turkey burger, turkey sandwich. That- that's about it."
 
I only cooked a turkey breast as no one likes dark meat. It was delishes, well the half we ate anyway. I left the breat way back on the stove. While waiting for the turkey to cool I left it there. In a while I decided to lay down as I was very tired. Well the guys were napping so...... anyway the dog got in bed with me smelling of turkey breath. Yah I know! My son found the carcus on the dining room floor. She was not ashame at all.

Dog food would have been my suggestion as well.

Turkey Pot Pie
Hot Open Face Turkey Sandwiches with Gravy

These are my 2 picks. Use puff pastry sheets for the pot pie. Easier and tastes better than pie crust, imo.

I wouldn't put cooked turkey in chili. We make turkey chili but that starts with ground turkey.

I'm a huge fan of leftover turkey and mash pot with gravy. Old school.
