Best way to make sure you have no leftover turkey is to have a smoked piece of standing rib beef beast for Christmas Dinner…or a ham. Turkey ain’t even good for forming into a loaf and putting in a can. Now Chicken n Dumplins’? That’s the way to have some bird.
We feasted on a multitude of TAH shared recipes over the last week, particularly the breakfast dishes…and the shrimps. I need to go back and curry comb a little more thru last week’s post but it seems as if the Thursdays are for Cooking segment was AWOL? Maybe I just missed it?
I see our little ray of sunshine has returned. How we managed to muddle along without his wisdom and advice is a mystery. I’m so glad…
I can’t type any more of this drivel. Imagine the gnashing of teeth and letting of blood had I omitted Monday’s FGS and recipe. The whining would be heard all the way to DC and back.
A bitchin’ soldier is a happy soldier I suppose. With that as a measure, seems our Gun Bunny is happier than a puppy with two tails.
We used to love turkey hash around here. (Which this basically is even though the ‘taters are smashed.)
What we did was change the flavor up a bit by frying lots of onions with chopped potatoes, adding turkey and Worcestershire sauce then crisping it up a bit. The idea was to get away from the flavors already worn out from however many days we had been eating the leftovers.
Then there was the “white chili” made with turkey, green chiles, yellow tomatoes, etc. Yummy stuff.
Oh, and we used to bake dressing (cornbread, of course) in muffin pans. Made more crispy edges and retrieving any leftovers from the freezer super easy.
As long as I have bread, a toaster, and a bit of butter, that leftover turkey has a home. Toasted turkey sandwiches are good for any meal.
