What's with this "wasteful leftovers" crap!?

There are NO wasted leftovers on any of my turkeys. Turkey sammies with
a good mayo and Cranberry Jelly are to die for. In fact, many folks
cook a whole "large" turkey jes so they will have plenty of "leftovers".

Millennial's are idiots. I give you the "man bun", as proof.

My late M-I-L taught me how to make turkey soup w/ noodles. That poor
bird didn't come away wasting anything. Rendered it right down to the
bones (which I pick out and toss).

I believe they think it makes them look like samurai. How some pasty,
scrawny post-adolescent can believe that is quite a leap of the
imagination.

I don't see the "man bun" often but it is usually on middle-aged men who
seem to think it makes them look cool. Sorry, but it doesn't. LOL

As for roasted turkey, I don't care for it but I wouldn't mind a good
old southern fried turkey leg.

On middle-aged men, really? Fortunately I don't see that... even more
ridiculous than on millennials.

Have to say, I only see it on millennials - though I do sometimes see
older men with long hair tied back, but not a bun.

If the Queen of Cool and newly converted Mr Asia reject man buns, I
better get a haircut soon. One wouldn't want to walk around uncool! I
guess the "man pony tail" is also ruled out by aforementioned fashion
gurus.

My problem with hair is that my hair dresser's been on strike for
months. I'm starting to look like Nick Nolte's mugshot.

I simmer the carcass until it literally falls apart; then pick any remaining
meat off the bones and end up with a nice pile of turkey scraps and a big
batch of gelatinous turkey broth. So, there is turkey noodle soup and
turkey tetrazzini to be made from the carcass and foisted off on my children
on a coupld of our Sunday family meals. Then there are sandwiches of
several varieties to be made from the extra breast meat and turkey ala king
from dark meat. Of course, by December 1st, I never want to hear about, see
or eat turkey again. All those dishes mentioned to use up left overs must
be spread across the coming year; so, into the freezer the turkey remnants
go.

Now, It is about a week before Thanksgiving, and another damn turkey, and I
still have 12 ounces of turkey meat in the freezer from last year (vacuum
sealed, of course).

I am not a fan of turkey, never have been and most likely never will be.
There are so many better meats in this world, even birds that are much
better. Tradition, bah, humbug! A tiny turnkey is a brilliant solution to
a tradition with too much inertia to be stopped. My only objection is, a 6
pound turkey might be a little big for my family - I'm rooting for
individual Cornish Game Turkey's, about 1 pound each.

So, what will you have for Christmas?

Probably a duck or a goose; maybe a nice, fat capon. I'll see which speaks
to me when I go shopping for Christmas meal. 8-) I'd much rather have a
joint of mutton or rack of lamb, but my daughter wouldn't eat it.

It looks like Christmas at our house this year is going to be just us,
our son and his girlfriend. That is not enough people for a turkey and
I am going to be lobbying for prime rib.

The tricky one this year may be Christmas Eve. We traditionally have
tourtiere or a beef and mushroom pie and salad, and he always invite my
nephew and his significant other. He discovered this year that he has a
serious diabetes problem and has to be very careful about the starches
he eats. I would be happy to switch to a more Catholic dinner with
seafood but I am not sure how well that would go over with his SO and
her daughter.

making additional dishes with turkey just makes more turkey leftovers.
For years I suffered through turkey soup because it was the thing to
do. I don't like the taste of turkey broth/soup. I don't make T soup
anymore. And turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce? Uh, no.

Turkey is not my favourite. I tolerate it and I cook it because it is
traditional and because other people in my family like it. I can handle
one dinner of leftovers and maybe two lunches with turkey sandwiches.
Then I don't want to see turkey for at least a few months.

I am glad that I am not the only one who dislikes turkey soup. I have
never made it. I have had it in restaurants that usually made good soup,
but turkey soup was never good.

I was in a bit of a bind when the Big Niece was here for Boxing Day and
wanted to take the carcass home to make soup. I was like a dog in the
manger. I didn't really want the carcass, but I had company and didn't
want to have to go to the kitchen to strip the carcass, and I didn't
want to leave her alone in the kitchen.

It's quite a bland meat in terms of flavour and texture.

"Uh, no" is right. My turkey sandwiches (since time immemorial) a
white bread spread with butter (we had butter available only on holidays)
sliced turkey breast
lettuce

Sweet pickles on the side. For preference, my great aunt's Aristocrat Pickles,
but I haven't had them since I was a teenager. I tried making them once from
her recipe, but I concluded the learning curve was too steep.

another purist ;-) Sorry about the pickles. I know what you mean

That made me laugh. We only had butter on holidays, too! I can only
surmise it was price related. It never occurred to me to ask why,
that's just the way it was.

Cornish game hens are not turkeys. LOL I've been making them for
decades since I don't care much for turkey. They generally weigh 1.5
each. Perfect for roasting individual little birds per person. They're
also good split and grilled, baked or broiled. They do contain the
neck, gizzard and liver which should be removed and may be used for
making a nice gravy.

That's a little too small for us; we prefer a 14-pounder. We don't let
the leftovers go to waste. My husband can't stand bitter stuff, but he
doesn't taste the off flavors in reheated meat.

My post-Thanksgiving leftovers involve cold turkey sandwiches and salads
with turkey on them. A particular favorite of mine is dressed with balsamic
vinegar, a little bacon fat and olive oil.

My favorite on Thanksgiving is the sides, not the turkey. I don't think
I'm alone in that. Leftover turkey sandwiches, that's where it's at for
me.

But this Thanksgiving is a bust, the family's not getting together.
No 6 pound turkey for us, it's going to be a prime rib roast. With
stuffing and pumpkin pie.

bought a turkey pot pie ;-)

Well, I usually just wing it.

Torn-up romaine
As many pieces of sliced turkey breast as I want to eat (usually a couple
of ounces).
If I've got cooked bacon on hand, some cooked bacon, cut up into 1" squares.
A teaspoon or so of balsamic vinegar
A half tablespoon or so of hot bacon grease
A half tablespoon or so of extra-virgin olive oil

Whisk the vinegar, olive oil, and bacon grease together and dress the
salad with it.

Anything else that's lying around the kitchen looking compatible might
go in. Slivered almonds, for example.

It was new to me the first time I made it. There I stood in the
kitchen, saying to myself: "Self? What would go with turkey?"
And Self said, "Well, bacon goes with everything, balsamic goes
with bacon, and a little olive oil would keep the bacon grease
from hardening right up when it hits the cold stuff."

Of course it's ok. Change it up however you like. I add a ton
of freshly ground black pepper, but I know that you won't.
