We know that the first sandwich stacked high with leftover Thanksgiving turkey is deliciously nostalgic.  So why not, go ahead and get it out of your system.  After you’ve had your fill, please join SousVide Supreme in the kitchen and try something new, by creating a few of our favorite dishes made with Thanksgiving leftovers.

Whip together our Manchego Turkey Spoonbread in minutes and serve it with Sous Vide Quick Poached Eggs, crisp bacon and hot coffee for a cozy brunch.  We baked ours in small ramekins for individual servings, however the below recipe works well for one large spoonbread; either way butter your baking dish and bake directly in the water oven.  Don’t forget the Sous Vide Cranberry Sauce, as it is the best accompaniment for this corn based dish.

For dinner, why not go French?  We love Sous Vide Oeufs en Cocotte served with Turkey Tartines.  Leftover cranberry sauce is folded into creamy fromage blanc and slathered onto toasted baguettes, topped with arugula and shredded turkey.  In fact, we love this meal for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, as it pairs equally as well with a cafe au lait or a glass of wine.

We hope that you’ll put the classic sandwich aside and join SousVide Supreme for a festive Thanksgiving weekend.

Cheers!

Turkey Manchego Spoonbread
Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

• Melted butter, enough to butter the ramekins

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Adjust the water level for baking as follows:

   2. Fill 6 ramekins ¾ full with water and set them on the rack.

5. Pull the pan off of the heat and stir in the cheese until melted then stir in the egg yolks.
6. Fold in the shredded turkey and set aside.
7. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg whites until soft peak.
8. Fold into the cornmeal mixture in three parts.
