Leftovers: The Great Debate

So, I ate turkey and dressing with a bit of cranberry last night (again) and it made me wonder....HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE EAT THIS?? It's been almost a week....when do you just throw it out? Do I actually try one of those skeery leftover recipes....Turkey a la King, Creamed Turkey on Toast or maybe Turkey Hash? Any ideas?

sara82....you really should have taken some of these leftovers! What were we thinking??? Hurry over and have a sandwich! XOX

Jump the turkey ship!!!! We have gone into the "anti-turkey" mode. Jamaican jerk burgers on the grill Saturday night. Ate out Mexican Sunday (Feliz Navidad!). Cooked Indian Monday night (and the house still stinks). Maybe I would have eaten more turkey, but my mom hogged the leftovers!

Today is my last turkey meal...a turkey sandwich for breakfast. My mother made some amazing turkey gumbo with some of the leftovers......need another bowl It was so good since it is too cold here....the wind is brutal.

::heavy sigh::
I would love to have your turkey leftovers!
MMm, I could really go for some turkey enchiladas.

I'll probably cook a turkey this weekend - I do this every year because we never get enough turkey leftovers. Not all the sides though.

I was ready to toss on garbage night (Monday) but since GB is the cheap... er... most frugal woman I know we are still eating them.

"Them"- as in the turkey AND the duck AND the chicken?

Jay Leno was having FUNN with the whole turducken thing in his monologue the other night!

:scratch: hmmmmm.... good point

I finished off the last of the cranberry sauce last night. But now you have me thinking that there might be some glazed carrots gone AWOL in the back of the fridge. I think those will definitely get the toss!

Did you ever try dippin' it in egg then flour and fryin' it? Kinda makes you feel like your killin' any skeery stuff, and of course its yummy if its fried-you can always use canola or evoo. We've got just a little left but two dogs that can help too so it's easy for me to get rid of without wasting. Know any dogs?.....that are worthy of your turkey, that is...

On the Sunday night after Thanksgiving, the leftovers go bye-bye.

:rofl: I had to throw it all out..... I was too skeered after 2 days!!!! My 9 year old daughter loooooves pumpkin pie so everyone and I mean everyone made her one.... we came home with 4 pumpkin pies! plus a pumpkin cheesecake! I don't think she'll miss the 3 I tossed (yes.... I had a taste test)! The cheesecake is in the freezer!
