OK @Beer can My dad used to love corned beef hash... When I was a kid and we'd have a roast beef, he'd grind up the left overs to make hash on Sunday morning. He'd buy the corned kind and fry it up in bacon grease, mixed with shredded potatoes. I vaguely remember it and having crispy parts to it. But I haven't had it or even seen it offered anywhere in a restaurant... been 50 years plus... Sure can eat me some (real) sausage gravy though! Love it over biscuits! Also good on chicken fried steak!

Love turkey soup too Deb! Since you said you made it from the bones, I would guess your leftovers are gone... I still have a couple of days to go as I'm by myself. Daughter will be visiting tomorrow for a couple of days, so we'll put another dent in it. I make soup from the bones, but it's always cloudy. I like it, but I seem to get more flavorful soup from the neck and gizzards/heart/liver and the broth is "clearer". So we'll see when the time comes. I don't always make a soup from the bones.

Grits! With scrambled eggs and bacon in it..or, by itself. Been a while. Need some now. Used to eat it all the time when I was a kid in Florida. Not so popular here in Utah. Popular breakfast here, egg, bacon, hash browns. Oh, with toast for the egg.

Is golden mushroom a soup? I love green bean casserole.

Yes, golden mushroom is a Campbells soup. Try it, and you won't go back to plain cream of mushroom.

I've seen it on 'dinners drive ins and dives' on food network, good homemade stuff at restuarants, haven't seen any myself in ours. I usually buy the can crap (I like it!) I have made homemade many times though, with cabbage and carrots also cause that's where I got it from, corned beef cabbage taters and carrots, chopped up and fried, don't do it homemade often, only with the left overs from St. Patricks day.
I've made homemade swedish 'potatis korv' potato sausage, equal parts ground beef, pork, potatoes, actually I think it was three pounds of each meat to six pounds ground potato?, a onion ground also, salt pepper, stuffed in hog casings, boiled lightly till done. I like to fry them up crispy on the outside, ketchup, eggs, almost as good as corned beef hash.

I LOVE chicken fried venison steaks....

Made Turkey soup from the bones....

..

Had turkey soup myself today at work, no bones in it though, Lol!

I hate grits. According to Dh, I make some of the best he's ever tasted, which is the way my grandmother did it, but I don't eat them. That's where me, and my southern heritage draw the line. My ex loved grits too. All I had to do was tell him my grandmother was making fried fish, hushpuppies, and grits, or bacon, eggs, and grits, and he was out the door headed to her house. He asked me to learn how to make them. I told him I would. Eventually, he began asking about my progress with making grits the way my grandmother did. After any meal with grits, when they've gotten cold, they are worse to clean out of the pot than oatmeal, which is something else I don't make too often, because I hate cleaning the pot afterwards. I'm still convinced that one of the major ingredients in Super Glue involves pulverized grits, and just enough water...well, you get the idea. Anyway, my ex was getting a bit insistent that I learn to cook grits like my grandmother's, and I knew if I cooked them once, he'd want them regularly. What to do? I told him I knew how to cook them like she did, but they couldn't be cooked in just any pot, they required a grit pot, so he would have to wait until I inherited hers. That worked for years. One evening I went to my grandmother's, and she was furious with me. "How dare you tell that man you have to have a special grit pot to make grits in." "As much as he loves grits, you start fixing him some grits, and quit your nonsense." "You should be ashamed of yourself." He was sitting there listening to her chew me out, and grinning. I informed him that I would cook him grits anytime he wanted them, with 1 stipulation. He had to scrub the grit pot, and the first time he failed to do so, I would throw the pot out, and never cook them again. That worked for a few months, then one morning I made grits, and 2 days later the grit pot was still begging to be scrubbed out. I tossed it, and never made any for him again.

No I just took the carcass and threw it in with all the bits that dint come off. After I got the bones out there was a good two cups of meat for the soup. We still have leftovers for makeing sandwiches. I may make turkey Tacos I haven had them in a very long time.

Corn tortilla softened so it doesn crack. Usually in hot corn oil. Turkey chopped and warmed up with sweated Onions. Salt pepper to taste. then lay a skinny stripe roll the tortilla around it and secure with a tooth pick.

Or lay it in hot oil right away on the seam side. A couple of cups of turkey meat will fill about twenty small rolled tacos. Serve with Quacamole or just with salsa. I like Pico De Gallo shake a bit on each bite.

I haven't had grits in a long while. I like them both savory and sweet.

Cooked up for breakfast with a little cream and sugar and a big pat of butter.

Or Cooked up with Okra, Tomatoes, and bacon for dinner.

Or when they set solid cut into bread thickness and fried in bacon grease...

I like Hominy in soups and stews, or served as a side dish, with a little bit of bacon grease for seasoning.

I also like Menudo with hominy in it.

NO I took the bones out... But I cooked them for about 24 hours added some vinegar to it to suck the goodness out of the bones. When I fished them out the bones crumbled. VERY good for arthritis. Its the first time for me. I like the vinegary taste too.

Good for you Getaclue, either the grits go, or he does!! Cookin' is usually a lot easier than cleaning pots. I have a pile of pots and dishes in the sink, and the dish washer (ME) only gets to them once I run out of paper plates and things to microwave. I have some skill but apparently housekeeping isn't one of them
