    Turkey Leftovers

    A simple thing to do with your turkey leftovers:

    After stripping the carcass of it's meat, shred (don't cut) the turkey meat into a large pan. The size of your family will determine the amount to use and of course the amount of meat you want to use. Once shredded, open a large can of Cream of Chicken soup and pour it into the pan. Add milk/cream to Q.S. ( as much as is sufficient; enough. Origin: < Latin quantum sufficit ) the mixture so that it's not too runny and not too stiff. Pepper to taste. Place on medium heat until hot. While this is heating up, make some biscuits with Bisquick (I found this to be the best for texture and taste). Once everything is cooked, split the biscuits and ladle the "soup" onto the biscuits. Enjoy. Very simple and very enjoyable, especially in cold weather. We call it "Turkey Biscuits" here. Everyone knows what is and usually there's nothing left.

    Now I'm fscking hungry.

    And, if you have a large quantity of the soup, or we make a pot load of broth with ours, it can be put in 1qt. seal a meal bags and put in the deep freeze for future use soup bases or dishes that require chicken stock.

    We bought a 16-pound turkey for three people because we love turkey leftovers around here. We'll happily eat off them for a week without getting tired of them.

    We cooked a 23 lb turkey, with stuffing. Monster bird. Cooked it for 5 hours at 350, watching it with the thermometer.

    The bird was fully "tented" with foil in the oven, then let it rest for almost 2 hours wrapped in heavy blankets. Unbelievably tender and juicy. The white meat was as moist as the dark meat. Seriously. Still quite warm after resting for two hours.

    Recommended.

    not cooking or dining out this year. too lazy.

    well, not cooking a turkey. i have a chicken instead (i live with four cats--they'll get suspicious if i don't come up with something tasty). i will go out on friday and get chicken soup supplies--the right stuff for this time of year.
