So--sick of turkey yet?

It's funny; while, unlike some people, I LOVE leftover turkey, I didn't have any sort of leftovers. That's because, since Covid, Loraine and I been making a casserole for Thanksgiving that combines turkey, stuffing, home made cranberry sauce, spinach, and pistachios onto one amazing dish (if I must say so myself). Because of that, we don't have leftover turkey.

And, if I'm being honest, I kinda miss it.

But I know that YOU may not feel the same way about leftover turkey, especially in the past few days, when you may have been dealing with said leftovers for most of the weekend. So, in light of that, and knowing that you may soon be running out of ideas on what to do with the eight pounds of it still sitting in your fridge, here’s a list I came up with a couple of years ago, a list of everything you may not have tried yet with your leftovers (or, at least, everything I could think of a span of about 15 seconds). Here we go--

Turkey chili

Turkey tacos

Turkey pot pies

Turkey pasties

Turkey casserole

Turkey croquets

Turkey canapés

Turkey jerky

Turkey latte

Turkey nog

Turkey & cranberry smoothies

Turkey bread

Turkey granola

German turkey cake

Turkey and dark chocolate cookies

Turkey & sweet potato jam

Home-made turkey Pop Tarts

And. . .

Frozen turkey doorstops.

There. Now don’t say I never do anything for you. And I hope that, if you still have any of it hanging around, that your turkey will soon head out the door!

Tomorrow, the story about how some people in Marquette apparently can't read.
