I haven't bothered with blogging lately, and as usual, nothing much is happening around here; there have been a few clouds on the horizon lately, but we won't worry about that. Because today, we'll be eating turkey. I bought a turkey after Thanksgiving last year and it has lived in the freezer all this time, with Cliff saying every once in awhile, "When are we gonna have that turkey?"
I kept putting him off, but finally the time has come for him to have his turkey: It's in the oven. I have the canned cranberry sauce, and the dressing... yes, it's the boxed stuff, but if you throw some things in it like sausage and onions and celery, nobody knows it wasn't made from scratch. There's really no big reason to have that sort of dinner in October, but at least my husband can quit worrying about that turkey.
It is handy to have leftovers, though. There are so many things to make with cooked turkey. I put the meat in the freezer in two- or three-cup portions and make things like Chicken spaghetti, substituting turkey for chicken. Chicken pot pie and several casseroles can be done with turkey and you hardly know the difference.
So with that said, let us give thanks.
Peace!
Love meals that create leftovers. Thankful for the microwave.
ReplyDeleteWould have done that if my freezer was big enough!! Non-Thanksgiving turkey would fill the bill!! Enjoy it right out of the oven and as leftovers!!
ReplyDeleteI have two turkeys in the freezer right now, and one ham. Each of them bought after the holidays. I will pop a turkey in the oven when it gets cooler outside, and yes...you can do a great deal with turkey.
ReplyDeleteTurkey is such a healthy meat and I don't eat it often enough. I don't like the sound of the clouds on the horizon though. Take care, my friend.
