TURKEY RICE
What ultimately sets a great holiday leftover dish apart from the rest? The answer: lots of flavor, not a lot of ingredients, and the ability to stand on its own rather than remind us of the meal it came from. This turkey rice, which is in fact a little more turkey than rice, checks all the boxes, and a fresh, 3-ingredient salsa adds the bright finishing touch.

CRISPY TURKEY TOSTADAS
Steps:
- Shredded leftover turkey tops homemade tostadas in this Tex-Mex favorite. Making your own tostada shells from fresh corn tortillas is easier than you might think-crisp them up in the oven while you prepare the toppings. Choose either regular petite diced tomatoes or those with added jalapenos, depending on your inclination for spicy food. Serve with black beans, rice and extra salsa or hot sauce on the side.;
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375degreesF. Bring tomatoes and their juice to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes. Add turkey (or chicken) and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, coat tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Divide the tortillas between 2 large baking sheets. Bake, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown, about 10 minutes. Mash avocado in a bowl. Stir in salsa, sour cream and cilantro until combined. To assemble tostadas, spread each crisped tortilla with some of the avocado mixture. Top with the turkey (or chicken) mixture, lettuce and cheese.

Stir occasionally to prevent rice and beans from sticking Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes For each tostada shell, top with 1/3 cup rice mixture, ¼ cup chicken and assorted toppings, if desired Cooking tips: Black Beans & Rice Wraps: Use flour tortillas (8-inch) in place of the tostada shells. Serving Suggestion: Top with assorted toppings, such as shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped avocado, salsa, sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro.
Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for tostadas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them until they're soft and pliable before adding the toppings.
- Don't overload the tostadas: Tostadas are best when they're simple and easy to eat. Don't pile on too many toppings, or they'll become soggy and difficult to hold.
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The best tostadas are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese. You can also add your favorite cooked meats, vegetables, or beans.
- Don't forget the sauce: A good sauce can really make a tostada. You can use your favorite store-bought sauce or make your own. A simple salsa or guacamole is always a good choice.
- Serve tostadas immediately: Tostadas are best when they're served immediately after they're made. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator and reheat them in the oven or toaster oven before serving.
Conclusion:
Tostadas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of tostadas that your whole family will love.
