Dealing with the leftovers

[Horsehat]

deal with the leftovers day at the Horsehat house. The hamhock, ham trimmings, ham juice, along with onions, bell peppers, celery, garlic, beans and spices goes into one pot for Cajun bean soup. The turkey, corn, a can of rotel tomatoes , onion and spices,black beans, becomes turkey tortilla soup. Will fill up then freeze the rest in quart bags for quick meals this winter.

Sounds good! What time will it be ready? Casual attire?

Always casual around here.

put leftover stuffing into a mixing bowl, re-smash it, add a bit of chicken stock (just a hair to make it almost wet) and then put in your waffle iron.

Crisp up, add gravy and turkey and a sunny side up egg.

Boom, heart attack

Already made a large pot of turkey soup.....

The turkey tortilla soup tuned out great. Haven't tried the Cajun bean yet.

You inspired me to cook something brother. I made turkey and dumplings with the leftovers AND I made the turkey broth from the leftover carcass. I would like to freeze these leftovers, but with a 17 yr old son that eats whatever you put in front of him, and a lot of it, I don't think there will be any!

I like making broth out of the carcass then freezing it in ice cube trays. I vacuum bag most of it, but put 1 tray into a ziploc bag. This is rich and tasty in soups, stews and chili.
