What to do with leftover turkey

Not all that long ago I lived in a town a little outside Calgary. The business I worked at was in a small commercial strip mall. We were the end unit, beside us was a small catering company. The caterer was a red seal chef originally from India. He usually had a very small buffet for take out items on a daily basis, about four items. I got hooked on his butter chicken. The bulk of his business was catering.

Where I worked the owners, three of them, all smoked and took smoke breaks in the back alley. I usually joined them, not because I smoked )as I never smoked a day in my life), but to get out of work for a few minutes. It was a good way to keep informed.

On an infrequent occasion our neighbour the caterer would join us in the alley. One of those times was just after Christmas. He came out and said that he over-ordered turkey for Christmas catering. He had no idea what to do with them all. I made an offhand comment suggesting he make turkey samosas. He kind of stopped, mulled it over in his mind and said to himself “turkey samosas” before disappearing into his shop. A few days later he dropped into our business and had us sample freshly cooked turkey samosas. They were damn good. I bought a bag of them to eat at home. He had his sandwich board out front advertising them and was sold out in no time. 

Personally I will eat turkey leftovers no matter what you do with them. Unless it is turkey a la king. That is just wrong.
