What are you doing with your Thanksgiving leftovers?

[femmedem]

I'm starting my day with yoghurt flavored with homemade cranberry sauce, topped with pecans.

1. We're gonna eat our leftovers today and probably tomorrow too! (ham, mashed potatoes

and pie)

[femmedem]

6. Sounds good!

We didn't make pie this year; it was our one culinary nod to it just being the two of us. We missed the pie, but on the other hand, we watched painting instructional videos in the morning instead of cooking.

28. WE ARE HAVING ..... Hot turkey sandwiches, gravey, taters, stuffing and sweet potatoes

sweet potatoes with only butter and little salt and pepper. cheese cake for dessert.

29. Many years ago when I was a boy living in Spokane WA we used to go to the Woolworths

lunch counter and one of the things we ordered was a hot turkey sammich. Thanks for the
memories! Yours sound yum too!

31. I REMEMBER woolworth's !!!!! I also remember Newberry's

2. Same as yesterday. Next day chicken a la king. Hubby loves it.

[femmedem]

5. We had a chicken Thanksgiving dinner, too.

We'll probably have a repeat this evening, too, except roasted broccoli and cauliflower instead of green beans.

I've never made anything a la king, but I'll probaby do some type of chicken stir fry tomorrow. Got lots of fresh ginger in the fridge.

3. Turkey Enchiladas!!!

And some kind of turkey/stuffing/gravy casserole.

[femmedem]

4. That sounds great! n/t

[woodsprite]

7. My future DIL showed me how to make the enchiladas out of

An egg batter so it’s less carbs since we’re both diabetic.

8. I forgot to buy cranberries, so I'm getting some today to go w/ leftovers.

I’m also going to a plate of food to a co-worker/friend who lives alone. I’ll drop it off on their front porch.

Edit: We’re going to have Turkey sandwiches for lunch and then whole T-Day meal
again for dinner, with cranberries this time! I simmer the fresh cranberries in orange juice, until reduced to a sort of compote, that is delicious hot or cold.

Yesterday, we had roasted turkey breast, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, cooked organic black kale with sweet onions, cornbread dressing (we’re Southern, y’all!), homemade turkey gravy, and homemade apple pie. I used my mom’s recipes for the cornbread dressing and sweet potato casserole.

[femmedem]

16. Your friend will appreciate that so much.

I don't know how people who live alone can bear it during the pandemic.

I also use orange juice in my cranberry sauce. This year I only had one orange, so I used half orange juice, half apple cider with the orange zest, some fresh grated ginger, ground cloves and cinnamon. So good!

Your dinner sounds great. This yankee loves kale and cornbread.

[CottonBear]

26. Oh! I'm going to make your cranberry recipe!

It must be delicious! I bought two packs of fresh cranberries, so I have another to make!

[femmedem]

27. I used the standard 12 ounces of cranberries, one cup liquid, one cup sugar.

It was so easy and so good. I love fresh ginger.

9. Turkey Gumbo !

[femmedem]

17. That sounds amazing!

Makes me want to dig through some gumbo recipes.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

10. Starting with,....

Stuffing waffles and eggs.

[femmedem]

18. That looks like a mighty fine breakfast!

I love dinner for breakfast.

[handmade34]

11. smoked trout sandwich for breakfast

not many leftovers... few sweet potatoes and some "Forbidden Rice" to heat up later

[femmedem]

19. I don't think I've ever had smoked trout

but it sounds decadently delicious. No wonder you didn't have many leftovers.

[Aristus]

12. Making up take-out plates to give to our grandsons.

Couple of bachelor kids in their early twenties sharing an apartment.

They don’t know a thing yet about how to make Thanksgiving dinner.

[femmedem]

25. Lucky grandsons!

Someday they'll learn to cook. Mr. Femmedem learned to cook in his 50s. Now he cooks as well as I do, better for some foods.

[vsrazdem]

13. Turkey tetrazzini, a family favorite.

[femmedem]

20. Great comfort food!

[trueblue2007]

14. eating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kali]

15. !

third round for dinner in a bit!

[femmedem]

22. LOL!

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. Same here

[yellowdogintexas]

21. we cooked a turkey breast; I pulled what we did not eat last night off

the frame; I put the frame in a bag to make broth.
I had a sandwich for lunch with some tomato,
We ate all the mashed potatoes and aparagus, most of the green beans.

I am going to attempt a pot pie tomorrow.

We will probably freeze the broth and some of the meat to make a soup. My sister makes the best turkey soup. We were making bone broth before it was cool. I chuckle when I read all these people talking about bone broth like it was something new.
Our mom always used the frame of a roast chicken with the meat that didn't get eaten and made soup with it. I thought that was the only way you did it!

[femmedem]

24. I haven't made a pot pie in years!

They're so good. I like your waste not, want not approach. It spurs creativity, doesn't it?

I've always made broth, too. I store all my vegetable scraps in the freezer until I have enough to make a batch. Easy, free, and it beats even the best storebought.

30. Try cranberry sauce on vanilla ice cream.

Unicorns will appear and beg for a taste.

Hubster and I are grazing our way through the left overs until we can see the back of the fridge.

[femmedem]

32. Oh yes! That sounds like the perfect blend of sweet and tart!

Mr. Femmedem used cranberry sauce instead of J in a PBJ yesterday.

[sarge43]

33. PB&CS. Yes. n/t
