What Do You Do With your Leftovers?????

Yes, I have to download my camera later.

He roasted 12 hours and was wrapped and insulated 2 hours for a trip to my in-laws then sat 30 minutes unwrapped and was still too hot to handle.

Turkey salad sandwiches are a great way to use up the meat.Just substitute turkey for chicken in your recipe.

Oh goodness, sounds like he was tender and juicy too. My kind of bird! Yeah, I can't wait to see the pic either. My turkey turned out really good but my darn memory card was full ( I forgot to put my pics on a CD

) so DD took a picture with my camera phone but it's not a good pic at all.

Leftovers are an important food item in my household. Food is not thrown away.

Some leftovers are canned, some frozen, some dehydrated, some go into freezer meals, bones are boiled for stock ...

Then what's left from all that, goes to the chickens. They love leftovers and holler for more.

What the chickens get is what is scraped off the plates.

Amazingly enough, my fiance has never had homemade turkey soup!!! So I know I am doing that FOR SURE. I can't imagine never having turkey soup! I have a roasting pan - Waring #7 if that tells you how old it is - that is just the right size.

My turkey carcass, the broccoli stems, celery root, green onion tips, etc... gave me 2 GALLONS of broth

Making soup today and freezing a bunch for later

Put ham in skillet with butter and onion. Cook over low heat until onion is soft.

In a large bowl, combine soup, milk and parsley. Gently stir in sliced potatoes, ham, onion and any drippings from skillet; combine well and pour into a greased casserole dish. Cover and bake 40 minutes at 350 degrees.

I cooked the bones 4 hours and ended up with a wonderful broth. Today I will make chicken/turkey gumbo. Not enough turkey leftover so I will throw in some chicken I have in the freezer. About 2 this afternoon it should be ready.

Now if I could just figure out how to can it.
