Don't discard the scraps from your turkey just yet. I have a fantastic way for you to use leftovers, particularly the small pieces that don't look so good. I saw a version of this on the Food Network, modified it a bit, and I think you will love it.
Asian Style Turkey Tacos
1 package refrigerator rolls (the one you slam on the counter to pop open)
1 bunch of scallions, diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into julienne strips
hoisin sauce
leftover cranberry relish
Siracha sauce or chili paste (optional)
Open refrigerator rolls and separate the rolls. Roll each roll individually with a rolling pin, to about 6-8 inches in diameter, about the size of a tortilla. Sprinkle with scallions, so that they become imbedded in the dough as you roll.
The roll looks like a pancake at this point. Place in frying pan and brown on both sides. This will serve as the "tortilla" for your taco.
Place cranberry relish + about 2 Tablespoons of hoisin sauce and puree the mixture. This will be the topping for your taco. If you'd like to add spice to the sauce, add just a little Siracha or chili paste. It will add a little kick to the sauce. This step is optional.
Put turkey in sauce pan, add a little soy sauce and a little hoisin if you like a sweet taste. Heat for a few minutes.
Assembly. Place refrigerator roll pancake (cooked) on plate. Add heated turkey, top with sliced cucumber and drizzle with cranberry/hoisin sauce. Fold like a taco and enjoy. You can spice this dish up by adding a little hot mustard to the sauce. Either way, your family will gobble them up.
