This is a traditional way to use up that left over Turkey in our family, and most of us can’t wait for the “eating of the leftovers” to begin.
We enjoy a couple of different leftover turkey dishes, but, when we get down to tidbits and pieces, we make these irresistible Bacon-Wrapped Turkey and Mushroom Poppers.
It’s easy to prepare, delicious, and fun. They disappear in a heartbeat (you might want to double this recipe)!
I just know your family will enjoy these delicious treats as much as my family does.
I’m pretty sure we’re going to make a full Thanksgiving turkey dinner every couple of months, just so we’ll have leftover turkey to make Bacon-Wrapped Turkey and Mushroom Poppers from.
Just kidding–maybe.
I like to dunk mine in Chipotle Sauce, while my hubby loves a little Dessert Salsa with them.
My daughter, though, she’s a ranch-dunker all the way.
Even my son-in-law does this thing where he makes his own “super spicy” mustard by adding a ton of horseradish–anyway, he drizzles that mustard all over and I stole one last week…they were pretty good.
So, you can rest assured that these little poppers are pretty much amazing with any sauce you choose.
Now, if we weren’t such crazy non-dairy folk, we’d probably add a big slice of provolone cheese on top of the turkey and THEN wrap the bacon around.
But we’re not, so we don’t. You can do whatever you want, though.
You could even put that provolone in there, then sprinkle with feta, just for some zip–but we won’t be doing that at our house…too many allergies here.
Regardless of how you dress it up, though, these puppies will be gone quickly, so you might want to have a main course waiting in the wings…LOL!
Oh, and don’t forget to pin this post so you can come back and make these bacon-wrapped turkey and mushroom poppers any time you want!
