Pumpkin muffins! YUM

My Dad is now on low sodium diet - is it worth making a no-salt pumpkin pie? Will it be edible do you think?

I think it’d be edible still, maybe tone down the sugar a bit though.

This recipe used one tsp of salt in the batter that produced one 9" and two 8" pies. That does not include the one tsp of salt in the crust.

I suspect that the one tsp in the pumpkin batter could be left out but leaving it out of the crust might matter.

The muffins on the other hand had 1/2 tsp of salt to make 12 large muffins.

Back to baking... I need to make two loaves of GF bread for stuffing. The local grocery has a special every year, turkey is 39 cents a pound if you spend $50. There weren't a lot of turkeys left, and I ended up with a 20 lb (!) turkey. There are going to be a LOT of leftovers!

I'll be looking for some recipes, that's for sure. Turkey instead of chicken in a white chili, turkey hash... anyone have some family favorites that they make out of leftover turkey?

I usually break the bones out into two bags and save meat for soup.

If you want to save for yourself as I did omit the mushrooms they can kill me

Turkey Tetrazzini​

Ingredients

10 ounces mushrooms, sliced thin (about 4 cups)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups ½ and 1/2
2 cups turkey broth
1/4 cup butter melted
10 ounces spaghetti
3 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey, including cooked giblets if desired
1 cup cooked peas
2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup fine fresh bread crumbs

Preparation

In a large heavy saucepan cook the mushrooms in 1/4 cup of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until most of the liquid they give off has evaporated, stir in the flour, and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add in a stream the milk, the broth, and the wine, stirring, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it well.

In a large bowl combine well the spaghetti, the mushroom sauce, the turkey, the peas, and salt and pepper to taste, stir in 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, and transfer the mixture to a buttered shallow 3-quart casserole. In a small bowl combine well the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan, the bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the Tetrazzini, and dot the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits. The Tetrazzini may be prepared up to this point 1 month in advance and kept frozen, covered. Bake the Tetrazzini in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbling and the top is golden.

Thanks, Penny! I'll eat the shrooms, thanks. In fact I'll throw in your share!

I put it in the crock pot and simmer it overnight. Let cool and debone. The meat goes into the freezer and the stock gets canned for future use.

I typically make tacos once and tamales around Christmas time.
