I was traveling through SE Asia over Thanksgiving so I missed out on turkey then. I brought a few leftovers home from Christmas dinner at my parents house but it’s not the same as having your own in-house. To me, one of the best things about holiday dinners is the leftover food.

When my Cajun turkey from Jennie-O arrived I knew that I was going to cook the meat solely to use it for leftovers. So that’s what I did. I popped it in the slow cooker, let it cook overnight, and throughout the week I used it in various recipes. This being one of them.

Since the Jennie-O turkey came pre-seasoned with Cajun spices, I kept that theme up here. You can use your preferred Cajun spice or create your own using my spice blend below.

    Such a creative use for turkey. It’s not my favorite so I am always looking for new ways to use the leftovers after the holidays! Thanks!

      Absolutely. Rather than use a Cajun seasoning, how about an herb one instead? Try this: 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp basil, 1/2 oregano, 1/2 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp pepper. Enjoy!
