I thought I was on the ping list, but haven’t been getting the pings.
You weren’t
You are now :)
Dinner was a success. We were eating 12:20 which wasn’t too late for the goal of noon.
The only hitch was when the turkey and I were wrestling. I couldn’t get the neck out of the cavity because of the plastic thing holding the legs. It took forever to get that plastic thing off. I pulled and yanked and pulled and yanked. It wouldn’t cut off so I decided to cut it. The meat wouldn’t cut right so I resorted to stabbing. Pull and yank and stab and stab and stab. When it finally came loose, it blasted me with meat pieces flat into my face. I was still picking gunk out of my hair this morning. I’m the fight a draw.
Stabbing? Ha! I finally resorted to tearing the meat with my fingers to get the last bit off the breast bone. My Dad was a carving master, but it didn’t make it to me.
I made them too. Excellent! I like the idea of adding a little cayenne.
Glad I’m not the only one who does this! I have a 20-pound turkey defrosting so I can roast it later on next week. As you said: for the leftovers!
Actual Thanksgiving was with dear old friends and we always parcel out the cooking so no one has to do it all. Then, I go on to *do it all* a week later. I think I’m nuts!
Thanks for posting!
A similar thing happened to me, because it wasn’t 100 % thawed inside the cavity. I actually got out pliers but ended up pouring a little hot water in there and that worked. I had started thawing it on Mon. You would think it would have been completely thawed.
So glad to hear that! I like the idea of the cayenne. Had a great day, hope yours was, too.
Add some beaten egg and flour and a touch of oil to some leftover turkey stuffing. Cook it in a Waffle iron till browned.
Use the waffles to make sandwiches with leftover turkey add some ham and white cheese to make a pseudo montecristo. Or a little cranberry sauce........?
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with jam.
Monday here, too.
Y’all don’t forget to pick the turkey and boil the carcass for stock for next year’s dressing.

I love crumble pies (I’m too lazy to make a crust). Yours sounds good. I want to try it!

Wait... There’s a foodie ping list? How did I miss that one? Please add me. Thanks.
