Thanksgiving leftovers

[kelbro]

A little early yet but what are your plans for the leftover turkey?

We love the leftover recipes as much as the 'day of' dinner.

I'm not a big fan of turkey sandwiches but at least one is obligatory.

My favorites are (not in order):

Enchiladas, gumbo, turkey pot pie, and if I can get my friend to make them... smoked turkey tamales!

Sometimes I will smoke one turkey and fry another just so we can be sure and have leftovers.

Boil the bones down, make soup. And you can count on casserole, lol.

I'm not a Turkey fan but I like it smoked. The pot pie idea though sounds excellent.

I'm not a Turkey fan..

Nor am I for the rest of the year.

My plate always had brown-n-serve rolls, a small piece of dark meat turkey, large pile of cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes and giblet gravy covering it all.

We always buy and smoke a turkey or two when the Thanksgiving sales start. When it comes to the family meal, I always have to dine on dry turkey that someone else makes.

Turkey sandwiches. Turkey soup. And then we pitch it. Sometimes we dont’ even get to the turkey soup.

I’ll probably give a lot to the chickens this year.

I'm all in for leftovers. I tend to "push" for a bigger than necessary bird just to have left overs. Usually the wife says no. But this year we're having an extra guest, so a bigger bird was purchased. I'm sure they'll be plenty of left overs left over!

I prefer a simple turkey with a little mayo and a sprinkling of garlic salt on whole wheat bread.

Last year or the one before our neighbors raised Turkeys and gave us one. We always raise chickens for meat and have had a few 10 lb birds after processing them. The turkey they gave us was 40 lbs! It was a challenge, to say the least, lol.

Wow, just wow!

I'm not even sure it was their biggest. We have WONDERFUL neighbors, I've lived here my entire life. The ones that my son refers to as his grandma and grandpa said once that the reason they didn't move South after he retired was because our wives are so close. Incredible.

Turkey Tetrazinni. I like it but I am the only one.

We start off with turkey sandwiches, turkey salad for sandwiches, and turkey pot pie. My wife makes a fantastic turkey pot pie. It is filled with turkey meat and mixed vegetables.

 

[PreachTheWord]

I'm actually begging my wife to do something other than the traditional Thanksgiving fare. I'm not a big fan of any of that stuff. She could thrill me with a good steak and potato.

I don't go much further than that, either, as far as turkey goes. You can't beat a good sandwich.

Oh, how I wish we celebrated with CHICKEN!

Last year, we had Popeye's chicken.
