At the end of Thanksgiving Day, mom always sends us home with leftover turkey, the occasional bit of mashed potatoes and/or stuffing, should we be so lucky to actually have these glorious sides left, a packet of gravy, and a few pieces of white bread. It’s pure heaven, you guys.
For the last three years, I have hosted my in-laws at Thanksgiving the Sunday before the actual day. It’s nice knowing no one has to try and make it to two or three separate dinners on Thanksgiving, this way.
That also means we always have a ton of our own leftovers, and sometimes by the actual day of Thanksgiving, we’re kind of, sort of done with turkey [but never, ever done with mashed potatoes. How I love thee].
That is where this recipe comes in to play! You will forget you were potentially turkeyed out with this dish, I promise. The mascarpone leaves the sauce rich, and creamy. The hint of dijon makes it more comforty, and less holiday. Is comforty a word? I digress.
The original recipe [here] calls for chicken, but turkey works just as nice. The marsala wine sauce is tasty, savory, and perfect over pasta, leftover mashed potatoes or green beans, cauliflower casserole, or anything else you can imagine, really.

That looks amazing!
I bet this tastes amazing! I’ve never used marscapone, but I imagine it’s creaminess adds a delicious and velvety smoothness to the marsala! YUM!
Splitting time up for meals with everyone is so hard. Great solution you picked plus yummy leftovers! Mustard, cheese and wine surely do go together!
An elegant solution to turkey leftovers! That sauce sounds heavenly!
I love all things mustard, so you KNOW this will be a hit
To be laden down with so many leftovers must be AWESOME! I personally love leftovers as well, though I can’t usually bring them home with me. And I can see why you’d love to have turkey–this looks like such a great dish!
Oooohh that sauce sounds fab!!
I have really been getting into mustard sauces lately, and this one sounds fabulous!
Mascarpone and dijon! Sounds amazing!
Oh man, Kyle would love this!
I love dijon, I can see how this would work really well. Great use of leftovers!
Marscarpone must make the marsala sauce SO rich and creamy, I just only imagine how delicious this is!
I’m totally biased, but it really is SO delish!
Oh, boy, your turkey marsala looks irresistible. I’m going to try it with turkey, then again with chicken! YUM.
Right?! Either works well, and tastes delicious, Liz 🙂
When I have been sharing this, I am drooling over how great it looks!!
I love this! What a delicious way to use up the leftover turkey.
Thanks, Denise!
What yummy, savory way to use up leftover turkey! Yummy!
Mmmmm…….I am SO looking forward to Thanksgiving, and even more now for the leftovers!
Hahaha, leftovers have become my 2nd favorite part of Thanksgiving!
Wow, this dish looks amazing!
Thanks, Jennie!
Can’t wait to try this next Sunday. I love cooking with marsala wine. Thanks for sharing. Pammie
I had to make this last week in order to share it this week, but I plan to make it again with this week’s leftovers – that’s how much we loved it! Enjoy 🙂
