I pretty much stuck to my plan on eating/drinking on Thanksgiving day at the country cousin's house. I ended up having three small helpings of the creamy green beans. Oh, my, heaven!! I've never eaten them like that before!
Anyway, on to part two of Thanksgiving: our own turkey dinner today. I ate more turkey than I should have, but it's all good. It's protein, after all! My boyfriend made some really yummy veggie stuffing. Yum, yum, yum!
After dinner, my daughter and I made chocolate chip cookies, which she then frosted and put sprinkles on them. That girl loves to bake and cook! I was teaching her how to make basic (fried & scrambled) eggs the other morning at breakfast.
I am pleasantly filled from our Turkey Dinner, part deux.
Yeah, we still have some leftover turkey. How long is it still good, refrigerated? Time to use the rest of the leftovers, I think.
Make it into soup!
1 can cheddar broccoli soup
2 cans milk
1 cup broccoli (fresh or frozen)
1 cup chopped up turkey
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Toss it all together in a pot. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until broccoli is cooked all the way. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. (Yes, I'm eating this for the 1000th time, right now!)
Make it into turkey alfredo fettucine!
Chopped turkey
Milk or heavy cream
Parmesan cheese
Garlic
Mix it all together to make a sauce. Simmer to thicken. Serve over fettuccine noodles.
Make turkey sandwiches!
Sliced turkey
Turkey gravy
Warm it up. Serve it over bread for an open faced sandwich.
Still have more turkey left? (Yep, you know you do!)
Feed it to the dog. Or pitch it out in the trash. Who really wants to eat turkey for a month after Thanksgiving anyway???
