we cooked a 5 pound turkey for 6 of us

and we have left overs

I have heard that it is great when fried with eggs. (Breakfast)

My mom makes Turkey Salad following nearly the same recipe used for Chicken Salad. Turkey Salad (esp with mostly dark meat) is much better than chicken salad. It goes really well with Ritz Chips too.

my uncle made turkey meatballs once... they were actually pretty good

11/25/2005 2:11:31 PM

I know it's simple but I just make a damn turkey sandwich.

11/25/2005 2:21:33 PM

my mom picks the bones, and takes all that dark meat we wouldn't otherwise eat, adds a bag of mixed vegetables, some chicken soup base, and some potatoes, and boils it all to hell, and freezes that. then you can throw it in a casserole dish and put a pie crust on top, and have a sort of turkey pot pie.

11/25/2005 2:32:02 PM

mmmm our turkey soup is just about done

i think i'll go have a bowl

11/25/2005 5:15:10 PM

samiches

11/25/2005 6:26:03 PM

BAG OF MIXED VEGETABLES

HAHA

11/25/2005 6:35:32 PM

I'm going to buy some chicken stock tomorrow and some veggies so I can make creamy potato/turkey soup with the leftovers I have.

took the carcass this morning, threw it in a big pot, covered with water and added some fresh cut veggies, herbs (mainly herbes de provence and salt+pepper), let it simmer all afternoon and had some delicious turkey soup this evening

11/25/2005 10:24:02 PM

def make soup or at least a fantastic stock out of the carcass

I like to chop the turkey up and make bbq with it... delicious on a sandwich
if you're feeling weird toss it in a tortilla with some cole slaw - goddamn fantastic

11/25/2005 10:28:41 PM

i made a glorious stock

11/25/2005 10:36:20 PM

we fried two 18 pound turkeys yesterday

11/25/2005 10:39:22 PM

maybe a bit of splendid turkey risotto with a side of simply irresistible cranberry chutney

11/25/2005 10:44:23 PM

we fed our leftover turkey to our dogs. easy way to get rid of it.

11/25/2005 11:02:27 PM

^^risoto mmm... That reminds me of this Near East mixed grain stuff that I bought - Roasted Garlic and Pecan. I bet that would go great with turkey!

11/25/2005 11:17:15 PM

turkey bolognese is good shit too

11/25/2005 11:54:59 PM

I know here in Eastern NC that some of the country restaurants shred it up like they do pork and you can eat it Eastern NC style with the vinegar based sauce...it actually tastes pretty similar too.

11/26/2005 12:24:03 AM

Make some open-faced sammys... with stuffing, cranberries, and the turkey... mmm

11/26/2005 12:40:33 AM

Heat that shit up, mix it with some gravy, and throw it on a bun. Add lots of salt and pepper.

Turkey Croquettes

Preheat oven to 350. Finely dice 1 onion, sweat it in a large pan with butter, add 1½ cups of milk when the onions are tender. Add salt, pepper, sage, whatever to taste. Add 2tsps of cornstarch and allow mixture to thicken to a heavy cream consistency. Move mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 beaten egg, turkey bits and breadcrumbs until the mixture has a cookie doughy consistency. Spoon on to ungreased cookie sheet, bake for 12 minutes.

Also works with chicken. Dark meat is superior. Goes well with horseradish sauce or wasabi Gourmayo.

I used to like to get some plain potato chips and put them, some mayo, and some turkey on bread and make a sammich.

11/26/2005 5:44:46 PM

TURKEY SALAD!!!

Like you'd make a chicken or tuna salad sandwich..mayo, pickles, sliced boiled egg, and whatever else you want.
