Turkey And Spinach Micro-Gratin Recipe - Cooking Index
With a little fresh spinach and grated cheese, you can turn bits of left-over turkey, any kind of stuffing, and gravy into this microwave casserole. The microwave is also an ideal tool for warming left-over vegetables--briefly heated, they will taste almost fresh-cooked.
Type: Poultry, Turkey| 2 cups | 474ml | Left-over stuffing |
| 1/4 cup | 59ml | Left-over turkey gravy or |
| Regular-strength chicken broth | ||
| 2 cups | 474ml | Firmly packed rinsed and drained |
| Spinach leaves, coarsely chopped | ||
| 2 cups | 474ml | Torn bite-size pieces cooked turkey |
| 1/4 lb | 113g / 4oz | Jarlsberg or Swiss cheese - shredded |
| Paprika - (optional) | ||
| Salt and pepper - to taste |
Divide stuffing and gravy evenly among 4 individual (about 1-cup) microwave-safe dishes. Pat mixture to make level. Layer in each dish 1/4 of the spinach and 1/4 of the turkey, then sprinkle equally with cheese. If assembled ahead, cover and chill up until next day.
Place 1 or more uncovered dishes in a microwave oven. Heat at full power (100 percent) until cheese melts and mixture is hot in center, about 1 1/2 minutes, rotate each dish 180 degrees and check center temperature. Continue to heat until food reaches the internal temperature you want. Remove dishes from microwave oven; dust cheese lightly with paprika. Add salt and pepper to taste.
