What's Cookin? turkey surprise edition

OK, back to afc north football on the road. we are having Thanksgiving on Thursday at on sons house and Friday at the other sons house. oh my. back to the first sons for his wife b-day Sunday. well i know cake is on the menu. probably feed us leftover turkey in some fashion. by then it will be turkey surprise. that will be enough turkey for the next year at least. Happy Thanksgiving y'all. shout out to all of our service members and essential workers that will be working during the holidays. you are the best.

 

Cold turkey sub in the stadium parking lot

and beer

 

I will be finished with Turkey by the game....so Im thinking beef, and cheese baked ravioli. I just hope I haven't had that yet this year for football, or it's already loser food.

 

At least it won't be that jinxed chili. I think we did OK when you were slaving for 3 minutes over those microwaved gourmet frozen pizzas. (Hint Hint).

 

Doing a 23 lb bird and only 2 people to eat it (plus 2 next door via a care package). So I'm assuming it will still be turkey something that may last till the next Browns game if no bird flu crops up during the interim.

 

I always look forward to the Thanksgiving night turkey sandwich with lettuce and mayo. Simple but good. Good bread or roll is a must.

 

I even make a sandwich out of the stuffing after it's been in the refrigerator.

 

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

And remember, leftovers are for quitters...

 

my dad used to get this pita pocket bread from a bakery (no longer there) and as a kid we would make them in that. man those were good. i have some really good sub rolls from a store bakery that i may try it on this year. i've enjoyed that every year since i can remember on Thanksgiving night.

 

If I can wrestle the carcass from my father-in-law, I saw a recipe for turkey gumbo that intrigued me. Got to love a good gumbo.

 

Probably take some chicken wings to neighbors house.

 

I would like to hope you are kidding, but something tells me you aren't.

 

1000 game, bagels and coffee!

 

I’m thinking Low Country Boil this week. Shrimp, Andouille sausage, corn on the cob and taters. Pig shots for an app.

 

kielbasa and sauerkraut

 

OK I agree. Here's an even better idea if you have some patience and enough leftovers. I call them Tur-stuffin-berry Sandwiches. You need a waffle iron. Take your stuffing, add some cranberry sauce or berries, egg and turkey/chicken broth (maybe gravy?) and mix them well until smooth enough to pour into the waffle iron. Cook it long, maybe 2 or 3 cycles. Remove - you now have stuffing toast halves (which is kind of ironic since bread is the main ingredient for stuffing. LOL). Pile on turkey (hot or cold), smother with gravy for knife and forking it or no gravy for hand held sandwiches. If making for several people (which I always have the day after T Day), place the cooked Tur-stuffin-berry pieces in the oven to keep warm until you have enough for everyone. It's been a huge hit for my kids and their families and other friends for about 10 years now. It doesn't get any better for leftovers!

 

Open faced hot Turkey sandwich with filling and gravy over white bread.

 

make extra sausage stuufing in bread pan with dripping added , then slice stuffing like it was bread , slice s of turkey ans a slice of canned cranberry ,a liitle mayoo bread of choice. Next morning saosage stuufing,gravy ,egg ,mix and fry ,top with a little more gravy, love Thanksgivind and remember to give thanks to The Lord in advance for a win and for family and country. May God Bless Steeler Nation.

 

That sounds amazing, and I will try it.

 

Nice idea for left over turkey for two: 8 inch baking dish. Spray that bad boy and spread Stove Top stuffing (or your favorite) on bottom like you would a pie crust. Chop up some turkey, I dig it small and spread that bad boy on top of stuffing. Get the wife involved. She can open the can of WHOLE berry cranberry sauce. Little love pat on butt seems to encourage them. Take a 1/4 cup mayo and mix with 1/4 cup cranberry sauce. Spread that bad boy over your stuffing/turkey.

Now, tell wife to find a big ass bowl. You may go to wrong cabinet and she'll ask how long your dumbass has lived in house. I've had the Experience. In bowl mix 1/2 cup mayo/ 1 and1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and then microwave those mash potato packages and throw it in bowl. Careful hot and pain in ass to mix together. Cheese starts melting. Now take that bad boy and put on top of your turkey pie.

Pop that bad mother in a 375 oven for 40 minutes** and after garnish with some of the whole cranberries if desired. Two dinners for wife and I.

** Note cooking times across the Mississippi can be confusing

 

I see You are back. I haven't put your scores up yet....I thought maybe you may change Your mind.

 

Thanks guy! I got back last night and will put it in the thread. Thanks again!
