Turkey Tracks

We had two roast turkeys at Thanksgiving this year, which was apparently half a turkey too much. I suppose if I’d chosen a smaller bird, there would have been no leftovers. But where’s the fun in that? As soon as dinner was over I bagged and froze the surplus meat and made broth with the bones. The following Sunday night the broth was turned into a hearty corn and bacon chowder that was gone in no time. Over the next few weeks the frozen turkey will become a chopped salad with dried cranberries, turkey noodle soup, green turkey enchiladas, and grilled turkey, bacon and avocado sandwiches. We might even have another traditional roast turkey meal with stuffing and gravy – when Thanksgiving isn’t quite so recent a memory. All the leftovers should be gone in plenty of time to make room in the freezer for our Christmas ham!
