Is there any way to reserect overcooked turkey breast? I found some
in my sister's freezer the other night (nights I visit I cook, since
she gets home late), so I started to heat it in a pan with a little
oil and a sliced apple.
Tasted great, if you like tasty cardboard. Would pineapple or a sweet
& sour sauce have made a difference?
Maybe next time (there's still some left) I'll put it through the meat
grinder and make burgers with plenty of moist tasty ingredients.
Unless someone has a better idea?

Cubed turkey , celery, apple, raisins and mayonnaise to bind - a little curry
powder can't hurt - then serve on a salad bed.

I'd put in a small roasting pan or covered casserole with a little
turkey stock or water then warm it up. That would put moisture back
into the meat. This is assuming you wanted to serve the breast meat
sliced or whatever. If not there are a lot of dishes that incorporate
turkey as an ingredient.

If you freeze left over gravy, you can certainly resurrect almost any
kind of dry meat. Cold, dry turkey, sliced and simmered in turkey
gravy, will make it edible. If nothing else, it will make nice
sandwiches. Served with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce, it will
make a nice comfort food meal. I do not like turkey, especially not
white meat, but I have used left over white meat just like I described.
I save and freeze the gravies from briskets, roasts, stews, anything
at all. They usually gets used up within a short time and are a great
help to me.

Make turkey croquettes - ground turkey mixed with seasonings, a small
bit of dry bread crumbs, some bits of celery and onion, and a very
thick white sauce - mold into cone-shapes; dip in beaten egg and very
find cracker crumbs, or panko, and fry until gold brown and hot all the
way through. You can do lots of dishes with cooked turkey in them, and
if you dice it or grind it, nobody will notice it's dry.
I'm also thinking turkey & noodles with a medium white sauce (made with
corn starch and chicken broth), seasonings, parsley, garlic, onion,
celery, green pepper and wide noodles. Buttered fresh bread crumbs on
top and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, or until crumbs are
browned.
Mix cooked turkey (diced) with salsa, olives, some shredded cheese, a
small amount of refried beans and roll up in tortillas, to make
enchiladas.

Turkey pot pie.
Turkey a la king.
Turkey hash (best made with dark meat, but since you don't have any...)

I'd make some sort of a soup and put it there towards the end of the
cooking time.
