Now, two days after, I'm looking askance at the 3-4 pounds of turkey meat leftovers in the fridge. There were just the three of us: my youngest, Emily and her partner Jeremy. We got the smallest turkey available, it was around 16 pounds. Emily also did her usual pecan and pumpkin pies. The pies are mostly gone, 'natch, as well as the sides. The turkey meat still sits in the fridge, like a gym sock on a shower rod.
That turkey looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'd go ahead and slice up the rest of the turkey, and then dispose of the carcass (either to make stock or just throw it out). Once you have all that turkey nicely sliced and ready to go it's easier to use up, at least in my experience. It looks great, btw!
ReplyDeleteOh, the three to four pounds of turkey meant I was writing about were boned, the carcass has been making stock for 2 days, etc. The turkey, brined for 24 hours, was great, tender, moist. It's fine, delicious actually, but I'm tired of it.
DeleteHere I was going to tell you to make soup, Dad, and there you are, on top of it. No turkey next year, problem solved.
ReplyDeleteNo turkey here, and I like the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteHow about turkey fritters, or turkey hash, or turkey tetrazzini?
ReplyDeleteHope your holiday portends many more happy days, especially those beginning January 20, 2021!
Our daughters and the grands are coming today (Sunday) and we've got a 25 lb bird in the oven. The kids will be packing plenty home with them--that is part of the plan. I'll keep the carcass to make a soup.
