What to do with left overs?

If you just made tacos (we make ours with ground turkey) and have left over ingredients, here is a suggestion.

Mexi-turkey veggie stew

Dice up onions, celery and carrots and put in a pan that has a tad of olive oil in the bottom. Saute veggies with 2-3 bay leaves until tender. Remove bay leaves and add white beans (or any can of beans you have in the pantry), left over tomatoes and/or a can of diced tomatoes and green chilis, left over taco sauce (or enchilada sauce), left over taco meat and tomato juice until your preferred consistency is reached.

To serve, put crushed tortilla chips in bottom of bowl along with shredded cheddar cheese. Top with stew. We had croissants (Pillsbury) that I buttered with spray butter and sprinkled with garlic salt and fresh shredded parm.

It was very, very yummy and used up all of my taco left overs! But now we have a new left over for lunch and dinner tomorrow! It made a good size pot!

Enjoy!
