Reply to: Your favourite Turkey Leftover Recipe

Chop all the leftovers, not just the turkey, into small pieces and heat them on a frying pan with a bit of olive oil, add some cheese and piri-piri sauce.
Heat some flour tortillas, spoon the mixture in, wrap them up and there you go..Turkey burritos!

Turkey Supreme - still use the same recipe my mother used back in the 70s

RC , now you have gotten me going

I MUST try that

Add some rosemary into the holes with the cloves and if you drape some anchovies on it they'll melt nicely if you cook it at about 120 for 3-4 hours.

I don't like lamb because I find it greasy.

A few years back my brother cooked a a lamb joint. Before doing so he made scores of cuts in it and into each one put a clove of garlic. He used about six BULBS of garlic on this lamb.

When it came out of the oven the garlic had caramelised and the fat had been stripped from the meat.

It was gorgeous.

He's a professional chef, BTW.

I cooked a boxing day curry with all the leftovers. ALL the leftovers. The slighly soured brussel sprouts and cabbage soaked up all the curry juice. The in laws politely chomped through it but were not happy. The wife was not complimentary either. I loved it. And we kazooed for England afterwards.

Is a kazoo one of those twenty foot double-base trumpets they use in Tibet to produce sounds audible in the next mountain range? I'm guessing it is.

Get a very sharp knife and cut little slits in the turkey skin. Force a mixture of bacon bits, garlic, herbs, a bit of butter or fat (in fact, whatever takes your fancy) in between the skin and the meat.

Accidentally on purpose let the cat get it.

I don't really like Turkey much, it's not good enough for the rest of the year so why Christmas? I prefer the beef on boxing day.

Bah humbug etc.

If it wasn't for Xmas I don't think anyone would buy turkey out of choice - it is so bland.

In the olden days, when they stuffed a bird, they didn't do it like we do it nowadays.

Try this. Get a very sharp knife and cut little slits in the turkey skin. Force a mixture of bacon bits, garlic, herbs, a bit of butter or fat (in fact, whatever takes your fancy) in between the skin and the meat.

cook it normally. Thats how they used to do it, hundreds of years ago

Turkey Soup.
Throw everything in and boil the beejeezus out of it. Strain the bones out through a colander and, if you are feeling adventurous then add curry powder and pass it off as Mulligaturkey Soup too. Keeps you regular!!

Turkey risotto. Very filling (but not as scrummy and filling as goose risotto).

[BlackenedBiker]

Turkey and gammon pie.

Might try that this year, as we have people staying for Boxing Day.

CUK for Recipe ideas, excellent

Turkey plus bin and leave for about a week and then provided the lid is not more than 2mm open so that the poor wee lambs don't hurt themselves as the wheel it to the lorry, you'll find that all the turkey has completely gone.

I dice some up, warm up some teriyaki sauce and serve with noodles.
