Day After Thanksgiving Stuffed Mushrooms Potatoes Recipes

CHEESY MASHED POTATO STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a bowl, combine the prepared potatoes, 1 cup of the cheese and 3 tablespoons of the chives.
• Remove the stems from the mushroom caps. Place them cavity side up in a baking dish.
• Place the potato mixture in a piping bag with a star or your desired tip. (It will need to be a tip with a large opening.) Pipe the potato mixture into the mushrooms. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then top the mushrooms with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Return to the oven and cook until the cheese has melted and the mushrooms are cooked, about 10 more minutes.
• Allow to cool for a couple minutes, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives. Serve warm.

CHEDDAR-MUSHROOM STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bake potatoes at 375° for 1 hour or until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice off the top of each potato and discard. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in. shell; set shells aside. Place pulp in a bowl; add cream and mash. Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, mushrooms, garlic salt, basil and oregano. Set aside 2 tablespoons bacon; stir the remaining bacon into potato mixture., Spoon into potato shells. Top with remaining cheese and bacon. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4-1/2 minutes or bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are heated through.

DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING DINNER

Steps:

• Mix together the stuffing and mashed potatoes.
• Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
• With your hands, form 1-1/2 to 2 inch balls (patties will work as well).
• Place the balls on a greased baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through and a bit crunchy on the outside (about 15-20 minutes).
• While the stuffing balls are baking, make a roux, as follows:.
• Sift the flour, salt, pepper and thyme together.
• Melt the butter.
• Add the seasoned flour, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each. (I use a whisk to keep the consistency smooth.).
• When the roux is smooth and bubbling, remove from heat and slowly add chicken broth, stirring and incorporating after each addition.
• Stir in the gravy and the milk.
• Return to heat and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth.
• Stir in the turkey pieces and heat through. (At this point, you can add more of any of the liquids if the sauce is too thick.)
• Serve the turkey and gravy sauce over the crunchy stuffing balls. Any leftover vegetables can be served with the meal or a green salad would be a great compliment. And don't forget the cranberry sauce!
