What a shame- must say the waste would upset me. SIL cooked the 5.5kg turkey, with butter and streaky bacon on top. He picked all the left-over meat off the carcass in the evening to put in fridge, and made a stock with onions and veg that very evening. He cooked turkey, leak, cream and ham pie the next day- and the rest was eaten in sandwiches. The stock went into soup, the pie and bolognese yesterday. Meat I picked off the carcass went to the dogs, and all the fatty bits to the birds at the back of the house. Nothing went to waste- and it was all deliciousl.
SIL is a great cook, so I leave him to it when they are here- and become the constant washer upper...
