Tired of turkey sandwiches? Over leftover casseroles? This is the year my friends - the year of the Thanksgiving Empanada. Chef John Manion of El Che Steakhouse & Bar has prepared a simple and quick new way to enjoy that never-ending stock of Thanksgiving leftovers. The unique recipe utilizes all of the traditional leftovers you can expect to have laying around like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy.
Here’s what you’re going to need to successfully prepare this culinary delight:
1 c Leftover turkey - leg and thigh meat preferred, pulled off the bone
1 c Leftover mashed potatoes
1 c Leftover stuffing
½ cup leftover gravy (to bind everything together)
2 packages empanada dough (10 discos each)
2 cups gravy and 1 cup cranberry sauce (for dipping)
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and knead together with your hands. If you’ve done Thanksgiving right you shouldn’t need to season the mixture at all, but definitely taste for seasoning. Pre-heat oven to 375 and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place roughly 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of each empanada disco, fold over and crimp by either folding or with a fork. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with hot gravy (John’s preferred method) and the leftover cranberry sauce.

Tired of turkey sandwiches? Over leftover casseroles? This is the year my friends - the year of the Thanksgiving Empanada. Chef John Manion of El Che Steakhouse & Bar has prepared a simple and quick new way to enjoy that never-ending stock of Thanksgiving leftovers. The unique recipe utilizes all of the traditional leftovers you can expect to have laying around like turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy.
Here’s what you’re going to need to successfully prepare this culinary delight:
1 c Leftover turkey - leg and thigh meat preferred, pulled off the bone
1 c Leftover mashed potatoes
1 c Leftover stuffing
½ cup leftover gravy (to bind everything together)
2 packages empanada dough (10 discos each)
2 cups gravy and 1 cup cranberry sauce (for dipping)
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and knead together with your hands. If you’ve done Thanksgiving right you shouldn’t need to season the mixture at all, but definitely taste for seasoning. Pre-heat oven to 375 and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place roughly 3 tablespoons of the mixture in the center of each empanada disco, fold over and crimp by either folding or with a fork. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with hot gravy (John’s preferred method) and the leftover cranberry sauce.

Oaken Bistro + Bar
The North Shore restaurant located within The Forester Hotel, 200 N. Field Dr., will be offering a three-course prix-fixe dinner special from Friday, November 19 through Sunday, November 28 for both dine-in, carryout and as a special hotel guestroom package. For $50 per adult and $30 for children 10 and under, diners will be offered a holiday meal featuring Oven Roasted Green Circle Turkey as the star of the dinner plate, among other takes on classics. Guests that book the Thanksgiving hotel package will be treated to the meal included with their stay. Reservations for the dinner are required and can be made on the restaurant’s website. Travelers looking to book the special package may do so on the hotel’s website.
“We are so thrilled to be welcoming the community to spend Oaken’s first Thanksgiving with us this year,” said Executive Chef Kristen Burman of Oaken Bistro + Bar. “So many families were not able to celebrate in person last year, and we’re excited to take the cooking off of their plates this holiday so that they can truly enjoy the time they’re able to safely spend together.”
The dinner menu consists of three courses, starting with fresh bread service, accompanied by whipped butter and sea salt. To start the meal, diners will be offered fresh, seasonal flavors with their choice of the Fall Panzanella Salad, served with shaved Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Goat Cheese and an Apple Cider Vinaigrette, or the Farmers’ Squash Soup, made with Apple Compote and Creme Fraiche. For the main course, guests will be offered Oven-Roasted Green Circle Turkey, served with takes on classic holiday favorites including Green Bean Casserole, House-Made Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes and a flavorful Rosemary Gravy. Sweets lovers are not to worry as the meal closes off to the tune of a slice of freshly-baked Pecan Pie served up sweet with a scoop of Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream.
