Turkey Pastitsada
There’s a dish from the island of Corfu called “pastitsada”. Corfu is one of the “Epta-Nisia” (Seven Islands) and many of the dishes from this chain of islands have Italian-sounding names and the influence in the food is still evident. Pastitsada is a derivative of the Italian word pastizzada, a similar dish from Venice. I have also made this dish with stewing veal and it can also be made with chicken, octopus or seafood.
Today I am making another variation using leftover Turkey from Canadian Thanksgiving. You can use leftover chicken or buy some turkey and follow my rooster pastitsada recipe or bookmark for American Thanksgiving or something to make with leftover Christmas turkey.
