Thanksgiving Leftovers
« on: November 24, 2010, 09:21:08 AM »
I came across this recipe a while ago and can't remember if I posted it.  And there's always turkey tacos.

Quote
For the day after thanksgiving, hash is a natural, particularly if brussels sprouts and potatoes play a prominent role on your table. Charred brussels sprouts get crisp, sweet and flavorful—perfect for smothering with egg yolks and gravy.

This recipe is quite forgiving as far as ingredient and amounts go. Feel free to increase or decrease the amount of turkey and potatoes in there as your leftovers allow. I do like to have a high proportion of brussels sprouts, so even if you don't have any leftover, it's worth it to pick up a few extra fresh ones. Leftover roasted brussels sprouts or fresh brussels sprouts will work equally well here.

One of my favorites is to take the leftover stuffing/ dressing, some turkey meat, mix together, cover with leftover gravy and bake in the oven for about 45 mins. Serve with leftover cranberry sauce.

Hey, I'm with Eupher. Brussel sprouts will NEVER touch my plate!! (I'm forced to allow them in the house because Inga likes them, along with a bunch of other "yucky" veggies)

Chris, there is no way in hell Brussels sprouts with brown gravy can compare with leftover turkey, dressing, gravy, and cranberries - IN ANY FORM!  :fuelfire:

I love brussels sprouts :-) Of course I eat them alone.

We always make Thanksgiving Stew. That is when you take all of the turkey meat (chopped/shredded) and put it in a pot with the gravy, potatoes, dressing, corn, green beans or peas and anything else that goes flavor-wise and add more chicken stock to desired thickness and then serve in a bowl with crumbled cornbread on top (or not). you can also put a dollop of cranberry sauce.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I like brussel sprouts....steamed with a dill lemon sauce. No one else in my house likes them. I like thefrozen  Green Giant small steamer bags of them. Just enough for me for a meal.

We all reheat the leftovers as they were for a couple of days. I will be turning the carcas into turkey noodle soup in the next day or two.

If you know how to make a gumbo, all you need is the turkey carcass, maybe a pack of fresh turkey necks, and the usual suspects.

Boil the necks and carcass in seasoned water, pick the meat, use the boiling liquid instead of water, and enjoy...
