The first thing Bossy wants you to know is she is brand loyal. Since the beginning of time, or at least back in the age of dinosaurs when Bossy joined time, the Bossy family has been purchasing Hellmann’s® Mayonnaise. Even if this is the first time Bossy noticed the two Ns in Hellmann’s®.
In Bossy’s opinion, the world doesn’t manufacture any other brand of mayonnaise, although Bossy seems to recall white bottled stuff sold as salad dressing and having something to do with a whip.
The next thing Bossy wants you to know is she’s not really a cooking with mayonnaise type girl. This means Bossy typically prepares meals utilizing simple, fresh ingredients as close to the natural food source as possible.
Except when she doesn’t.
The simple fact is we all have recipes in our arsenal that utilize ingredients such as mayonnaise — and the only thing that differentiates these recipes from the others is that they are — how can Bossy put this — delicious.
Anyone who turns their nose up at cooking with mayonnaise has never participated in a little thing Bossy likes to call Thanksgiving and the many family-spun, comforting recipes such as Bossy’s Baked Mayonnaise With Broccoli.
Not to mention the problem of what to do with the turkey leftovers. It was Bossy’s brand loyalty that made Bossy throw her hand in the air when her friends at Hellmann’s were looking for people to prepare and review one of their many quick and easy recipes — this one for Creamy Baked Turkey — designed specifically for turkey leftovers during the busy holiday season. And guess who also makes delicious turkey recipes with Hellmann’s®?
Except Bossy wants to let you in on a little secret, just between you and Bossy: Bossy completely forgot this recipe review was due until thirty-five minutes before the deadline, which is how Bossy found herself breathless in the grocery store mid-morning, racing around purchasing the ingredients to make her casserole. So the following truly proves just how quick and easy this recipe really is, even for a late muckle of frizz like Bossy.
Shall we? Meet the ingredients:
The first thing Bossy did was preheat her oven to 400 degrees:
Next, Bossy made crumbs out of a half-cup of crackers:
Then Bossy combined the cracker crumbs with four tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese. Except she didn’t need to combine all four tablespoon of grated cheese, she needed to combine only half of that:
Next, in a separate bowl, Bossy placed 4 ounces of softened cream cheese:
And then Bossy added one half-cup of Hellmann’s® Mayonnaise:
And then that concoction was mixed with a clove of minced garlic, a couple of tablespoons of minced parsley, and the remaining grated parmesan cheese Bossy rescued earlier from the cracker crumbs:
Next Bossy cut 1 pound of boneless, skinless turkey breasts into bite-size pieces:
And then those turkey breast pieces get mixed with the wet ingredients:
Next pour the mixture into the shallow 2-quart casserole dish Bossy doesn’t own. Then sprinkle with the dry ingredients. For those with a memory the size of Bossy’s, that would be: sprinkle with the cracker crumbs and parmesan cheese mixture:
Then it goes into the preheated oven for twenty minutes:
Let’s have a time check, shall we?
This dish made it from the food store into Bossy’s oven in twenty-five minutes. It would have been less if Bossy had actually been prepared to cook and not trying to feed herself the breakfast she hadn’t yet eaten.
So what’s the verdict? Well, Bossy left her Creamy Baked Turkey in the oven longer than the prescribed amount because Bossy likes everything crunchy and golden brown. In her oven that meant thirty-five minutes. Upon completion it had gooey bits and crunchy bits and tender bits, which meets all three of Bossy’s meal standards.
Naturally Bossy ate an enormous portion while typing this right heresjsjdkkdkldlelwl. And only one hour past her deadline!

So funny that you put this post up im scouring through the internet finding recipes for a family vacation and this pops up on facebook! Thanks bossy I will be making this one for sure…and thank you for sharing with us…….
I use mayo and crushed corn flakes on thighs. Turkey and chicken thighs, not my thighs, silly! Anyways. Yummers. Because I’m awesome like that.
ALSO! Same tile backsplash! HAAAATE!
What leftovers? They were gone by Saturday noon! But, I will say, they were put into a turkey salad with tons of Hellmann’s. When I have mayo, I have lots and lots of mayo!
I am brand loyal to Hellmann’s too. Those people who say they can’t tell the difference? Well if you can say anything nice….
I grew up on Hellmann’s! When I moved to the west I was heartbroken to find out they didn’t have it then I realized that for some reason they just referred to it by a different name. “Best”. WTF? This is why you stay East of the Rockies…
Turkey leftovers were turned into turkey sandwiches, WITH MAYO!
We were at the in-laws for Thanksgiving and almost didn’t have any leftovers at all. We did manage to sneak off with some turkey, which turned into good old-fashioned turkey sandwiches. Made with Hellmann’s, naturally.
I’m a Mayo girl married to a Miracle Whip guy. It’s been a “turkey bone of contention” for 35 years.
What did the “final product” look like?
Turkey leftovers are always made into turkey sandwiches at my house!
But what if you’re actually using leftovers which are already cooked….still the same recipe? This sounds delish, but I can’t justify going out and buying more turkey when I already have a stupendous amount of fine cooked turkey in my frig.
Turkey leftovers are now gone … but we DID have some turkey sandwiches WITH mayo! And the mayo just happened to be Hellmann’s 🙂 (yes, really!) Enjoyed those sandwiches on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Sadly in Arizona they don’t have Hellmans the sell it under a secret brand name of “Best” but its exactly the same company.
We never, ever, ever have leftover turkey. So I will have to live through all of you!
We usually do turkey salad and sandwiches, however this year the leftovers are just being grabbed straight out of the fridge and nibbled on whenever someone decides they want a snack.
–>You forgot to mention the turkey inspired NAP after eating!
Bossy!! Hellmanns is very luck to have you make that turkey cassarole sound like so much fun & yum!!
Any turkey leftovers at this house get eaten on freshly sliced crusty bread with…. mayo ! and cranberry sauce and stuffing and gravy and anything else leftover from Thanksgiving.
Turkey and Swiss Paninis with a cranberry/mustard dipping goo
The in laws always cook the turkey so we don’t have leftovers. Boo hoo!
You could have smashed those town house crackers in the Little Oskar. That’s what I do.
Reading all these is making me gnaw on my already nubbin-ish fingernails! Ate basically an entire Thanksgiving meal five days in a row last week. Then made turkey noodle soup last night, and a turkey and cheddar wrap today.
Leftovers? We had none since we went to someone else’s house for Thanksgiving. However, whenever we do have turkey leftover, a turkey sandwich with Hellmann’s is a must-have.
Hellmann’s® is the only mayonnaise. You can make the best mashed potatoes using Hellmann’s and butter. Yum!
I made turkey barley soup with my leftovers. My husband made turkey sandwiches.
Y.U.M. Do you deliver?
I grew to like mayo late in life – as a kid I was a M—— Wh– fan, but thank goodness I came to my senses. Out here Hellmanns is Best Foods – I have no idea why.
We made turkey soup and turkey pot pie. We cooked two turkeys so there would be leftovers for us and guests.
I’ve made turkey tacos (mmmmm) and turkey-divan-baked potatoes 🙂 Probably one more use of turkey left – and perhaps a casserole like this one with the addition of broccoli because I like to pretend I’m healthy!
Turkey sandwiches with Hellmanns, turkey salad with Hellmanns, and turkey soup without any mayo involved.
Turkey and Brown Rice Bake. Why don’t we make a “real” turkey more often?? Yum!
I’m sorry to your kind sponsor, but mayonaise is like the phlegm of demons. I always substitute plain yogurt. My turkey leftovers go mostly into the much coveted thanksgiving sandwich: turkey and stuffing on toasted wheat with gravy as the condiment and cranberries providing the punch. I have a yummy turkey tortilla casserole that calls for gads of mayo but is more delish when made with yogurt. And of course, I am the queen of turkey soup. ALSO! currently uploading pics of the world’s best post- thanksgiving treasure: the cranberita. It will be on my blog tomorrow, pure joy with a salted rim.
Do you know that the name of the Charmin bathroom tissue spokesman, Mr. Whipple, was created by combining the words ‘whip’ and ‘nipple’? I didn’t until just now.
Turkey on rye, Hellmann’s real full fat on one piece of bread, my homemade cranberry sauce on the other slice of bread. Delish.
Leftovers? Ya, I had none. But if I did have some I would make buffalo turkey dip…which sounds a lot like what you made but with buffalo wing sauce.
Turkey sandwiches the next day. With mayo and cranberry sauce.
i have been making some killer soup out of the leftover turkey and broccoli and corn and stuff that i “inherited” after thanksgiving. i LOVE me some turkey noodle soup.
Unfortunately the kids ate all the turkey leftovers before I got to make anything good out of it. Should have made a bigger turkey I guess!!!
We made sandwiches of course, then I used the rest of the turkey for taco meat!
I made a turkey shepherd’s pie. It was delicious! I’m using the rest for turkey sandwiches. Those are also amazing. 🙂
My leftover turkey is gone! 🙁 Can I have some of yours?
I made Turkey Salad with our leftover turkey. It was delicious.
Turkey stock, leftovers pie (dressing, turkey, gray, veg, is a pie crust), and of course cold turkey with (Hellmann’s) mayo-mustard-marmalade dip!
I always go the turkey soup route — especially effective when weather is cold, or people have colds. Toss in all the other leftovers (beans, spuds, corn, salad, dressing, whatever…) and your refrigerator will thank you too! But I always have a big jar of Best Foods Canola Oil Mayo in the fridge for the pre-soup sammies. If you’re ever looking for a lower-fat product, give that one a try. Comes as close to “the real thing” as you can get in terms of flavor, and beats all competition by a mile! Good partnership, Bossy 🙂
I love mayo! Back home in Romania we had to make our own, years and years ago, as you couldn’t find it in the storeS. I am so excited to have it at the tip of my fingers at all time here, in the U.S. Hellmann’s Real one is AWESOME!
First we had turkey tettrazini, then turkey sandwiches, then turkey soup, then turkey salad sandwiches, which involved turkey, chopped up apples, walnuts and craisins, all mixed with Hellman’s mayo. It was a big turkey. The legs and wings have been saved in the freezer for future soup use.
The two names East and West for Hellmann’s, why they used to sing on tv and radio ” Bring out the Hellmann’s and bring out the Best!”
Truly the only mayo. Used to like MW, eventually fell by the way side. No leftovers here, dinner was at somebody else’s house. Might have to buy a turkey of our own soon anyway. Tiles not so bad, Bossy. We don’t have any kind of backsplash fancy stuff.
Turkey pot pie.
My favorite thing to do with leftover turkey is turkey, bacon and smoke cheese panini! YUM!
amy [at] utry [dot] it
Turkey paninie.
my favorite way to use mayo is on tomato sandwiches…yum!!!

Turkey barley soup of course, and a few turkey, cheese, and cranberry sauce paninis, with Hellman’s of course.
Well, the usual turkey sandwiches and turkey soup, but turkey tetrazzini is a must every year with the left overs!
Turkey sandwiches with Hellmann’s!
Oy vey – once again Olivia the Canadian is ineligible for Bossy’s contest – but maybe Bossy could send Olivia some of her tiles. They look like something Olivia “used to” smoke.
Bossy is my kind of cook 🙂
No leftovers to enjoy here..
Soup, of course!
I made a super yummy casserole that my daughter’s teacher sent home with her. It’s had various soup mixes, rice and turkey and was a hit with the whole family.
turkey leftoevers went into panini the next day – wth stuffin and gravy and buttered bread – OH YUM.
No leftovers this year because we ate it all! But my favorite thing about Thanksgiving is how we all feel magically peckish an hour or two after Thanksgiving dinner, and nibble on the turkey, stuffing, pie, and cranberries all night 🙂
That recipe sounds really good. Normally we just make turkey sandwiches and reheat as is occasionally. The perfect turkey sandwich IMHO – bread slathered with plenty of mayo, turkey, celery leaves, salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of red wine vinegar all over… heaven!
Well, we call it something else out here in CA, but Hellmann’s IS mayonnaise. I honestly don’t know why anyone else bothers making it. We finished up the Thanksgiving turkey tonight, as croquettes, served with a choice of condiments–ketchup, bbq sauce, and MAYO!!! Really enjoyed reading this, sponsor or no!
Turkey pot, turkey pot, turkey pot piiiiiiiiie!
mmmm turkey goodness….. but does Helmann’s have a soy-free variety? we can’t do soy here…
Always have to have an opened faced turkey & gravy sandwich for lunch the next day!
Turkey—Turkey—-Doesn’t anyone want to argue white meat vs. dark meat???
Didn’t cook, so no leftovers. Although, I am cooking a turkey this week, specifically for the leftovers. Definitely making this recipe.

We eat a few meals of all the leftovers and make grilled turkey and provolone sandwiches. Then I freeze the rest already cubed into 3cup portions to add to homemade turkey pot pie or turkey/noodle/veggie soup on those cold days in Wisconsin!

thankyou!
I think that I will use the leftovers in a turkey pot pie
I like to cut up some turkey, place it in a bowl and mix it with some seasoning, flour and bread crumbs. Then I will fry it along with some cut up potatoes!! yum!!
I went to my sister’s in-law’s house so no leftovers and now, thanks to Bossy, I’m hungry!
Southwest Turkey Egg rolls!
IT’S GREAT FOR KID’S LUNCHES!!

Where did you get your turkey breast? I have always been a little on the paranoid side when it comes to raw meat and it has to be practically burnt for me to eat it unless I am the one who cooked it.
so it is incredibly rare that I would see those delicate cuts you’ve shown and have to fight back the urge to lick the screen. And it has nothing to do with me thinking at first what was pictured was ham
Leftovers… what leftovers??
turkey leftovers=turkey stroganoff!!!
Turkey sandwiches here! However, it was more like “Would you like a little turkey with your mayo?” 🙂
I planned on making turkey sandwitches with mustard and arugula but ended up eating them as snacks..Thanks for the recipe and giveaway!

Bossy — you are hysterical. Great post. Bon appetit!
I recently saw a bulldog eating mayonnaise. Does that count?
I’ve been strategically placing turkey into several dishes all week. I’ve made creamed turkey, dressing with chopped turkey and sandwiches. Nothing special, I know.
Just trying to use it up! Love that recipe!
We’ll be having turkey sandwiches, of course!
There is nothing better than good ole’ turkey sandwiches on super soft fresh bread….with Hellmann’s mayo : )

Sorry, Turkey Sandwiches are the only reason to cook a turkey
We’ve been having turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches on softball sized buns. yummmmmmm
I like to make stock out of the turkey bones and serve with leftover meat with noodles. Garnish with coriander.

Grilled turkey sandwiches on thick sliced homemade bread slathered with Hellmann’s Mayo with tomato and lots of pepper.
I plan on using my turkey leftovers is turkey sandwiches on sliced wheat bread with mayonnaise, cucumber, lettuce, mustard and pepper.

I saute some curry powder & a finely diced shallot in olive oil.
I mix this into mayonnaise and stir in cubed turkey meat for a salad or sandwiches.

Pretty standard leftover usage here: rye bread, slathered with Hellmann’s (seriously the only mayo I’d ever buy), turkey leftovers and lots of salt and some cracked pepper. I ate like four of these the very next day and had one for breakfast on Saturday! Yum! 🙂
I’m still hungry for turkey!!
i like to make turkey soup with my leftovers

My favorites with the left overs are the thanksgiving sandwich (pile all your favorites on bread with mayo and enjoy) or turkey and mashed potato patties (fried to a golden splendor).
Turkey pot pie, of course! Hellmann’s Mayo is our choice, hands down! Eat it on club crackers, too!
My head hurts… I’m in Canada and I can’t enter this contest and our T’giving was weeks ago. Sigh… I love Hellman’s made with olive oil. Sigh. Good luck, Americanos!
I made my casserole of leftover turkey, stuffing, veggies and cheese.

I use turkey leftovers for sandwiches.
I love eating turkey leftovers as sandwiches
turkey/broccoli divan and left over turkey sandwiches thanks
I am actually a vegetarian and have been for over 11 years; however, I remember cooking turkeys before making the change. The BEST turkey leftover that I remember was veggie soup. We would take the left over gravy, any left over veggies, and left over turkey that was chopped up and put it all in a crockpot. Cover with water and season with poultry seasonings and cook. WONDERFUL stew!

For the first time ever, I made turkey stock this year. And then turkey & rice soup with broccoli. It was so good even my MIL liked it and had seconds.
I also made a double batch of cranberry sauce so we could eat turkey sandwiches all week. Turkey, cranberry sauce, and mayonaise. That makes the BEST sandwich.

Thank you for a chance to win!
We do something like this with Turkey left overs.
I didn’t have any turkey leftovers this year. 🙁
When I do, turkey sandwiches with dill pickle on them all the way!
I’ll probably just make boring but delicious turkey sandwiches with my leftovers. But I must admit, I’m pretty loyal to that “whip” brand.
I used mayo for turkey sandwiches.
bossy is doing a lot of sponsored posts lately.
turkey noodle soup, turkey enchiladas, turkey shepherd’s pie, turkey sandwiches. lots-o-leftovers, DH is a mayo guy, I’ll keep my “whip”
Too late for giveaways, but we had hot turkey sandwiches and turkey tettrazini and LOTS of good stock for the freezer. There’s no such thing as too much turkey!!
I forgot to mention how crushed my mother was when I converted to Hellmann’s, but you can’t bake Miracle Whip, and our thanksgiving table needs artichoke dip. And I will be making your recipe soon. Thanks!
