Leftover roasted turkey ramen is going to make this upcoming weekend a whoollllle lot better.
I may be weird in that I sometimes love Thanksgiving leftovers MORE than the original Thanksgiving meal. On Thanksgiving. Like a crazy person!
So here’s the thing. For as long as I can remember, we’ve always had leftovers on Friday, whether it be for lunch or dinner. And the thing is that we all really want the traditional meal, again. Sure, it’s on a slightly (or, uh, much!) smaller scale but it’s so good – again! It may even taste better after it sits and those flavors marry and get all delish.
But. After Friday? We are over it. I am over it. I don’t mind the flavors on their own, but I want something super different and still delicious. You know?!
Something that isn’t a leftover sandwich or plain old turkey noodle soup.
Enter turkey ramen!! And give me all the exclamation points.
I’ve made a roasted chicken ramen and a spicy pork ramen before (omg, it’s incredible!) and figured this was the perfect vehicle to throw some leftovers in. Especially (!!!) if you have grilled or smoked turkey too! Sure, roasted tastes great, but tossing in some leftover applewood smoked or grilled turkey is even better. Oh my.
In this bowl we have garlic butter shittake mushrooms, nori sheets, lots of toasted sesame oil and soft boiled eggs.
The eggs may be my favorite part, but that’s no secret!
I mean, look at them.
One thing I love about a bowl like this is that you can add so much of your own flavor. If you want more soy sauce or hoisin, add it! If you want more toasted sesame oil, want it spicier or more mild, want heartier or more brothy – you can control that and add in or take out what you don’t love.
I’ll be sharing all my leftover suggestions with you first thing on Friday, but in the meantime… turkey ramen should be your go-to!
