Keeping cold turkey in the fridge

gracesmum . Exactly my point!!

But not original I hasten to add.
(Last line should read fish and chips) heigh ho

Very clever - and apt, Gracesmum!

Love it, gracesmum

Brilliant....

indeed

I think it is time for this:
On the first day of Christmas my true love said to me:
I`ve bought a big, fresh turkey and a proper Christmas tree.

On the second day of Christmas much laughter could be heard
as we tucked into our turkey- a most delicious bird.

On the third day of Christmas came the people from next door.
The turkey tasted just as good as it had done before.

On the fourth day of Christmas came relations, young and old.
We finished up the Christmas pud and had the turkey cold.

On the fifth day of Christmas, outside the snowflakes scurried
But we were nice warm inside – we had the turkey curried.

On the sixth day of Christmas, the Christmas spirit died
As the children fought and bickered – we had turkey rissoles fried.

On the seventh day of Christmas my true love he did wince
When he sat down at the table and was offered turkey mince.

On the eighth day of Christmas the dog had run for shelter
He`d seen our turkey pancakes and the glass of Alka Seltzer.

On the ninth day of Christmas by lunchtime Dad was blotto
He knew that bird was back again, this time as a risotto.

On the tenth day of Christmas we were drinking home-made brew
As if that wasn`t bad enough, we were eating turkey stew.

On the eleventh day of Christmas the Christmas tree was moulting.
With chilli, soy and oyster sauce the turkey was revolting.

On the twelfth day of Christmas we had smiles upon our lips.
The guests had gone, the turkey too – we dined on fish chips.

Oops! - no intention to make you sick kitty!!!

...all gone.....fridge is now turkey free...know how you feel kittylester......

Could people stop posting on this thread so it disappears - PLEASE. I feel ill every time I see the heading.

Chillax

Because it's cool when .

I know that cold turkey is the most efficient way of coming off, but why add to the misery by doing it in the fridge?

Cooked the turkey on Christmas day, since then it's been sandwiches or cold, sliced with bubble & squeak. Had a break tonight and cooked the rest of the ham with pasta. Tomorrow it'll probably be curry.

When I was a child my mother always made the turkey last a week. No refrigeration of course, it would just be covered with a bit of greaseproof and left in the larder (kitchen cupboard) but we all survived!

Noo - Saturday is curry! Not to mention turkey soup for lunches!

Stansgran - I love turkey I really would eat it all year if it was available.

I just tried to get a turkey crown to freeze from Tesco website - my search revealed dog food!

Christmas day turkey roasted, Boxing day turkey sandwich, Thursday cold cuts and pickles, Friday Turkey pie Saturday Turkey in the bin! I am all turkied out¬

I must admit I have a three-day rule, so that if I'd cooked the turkey on Monday I would only eat the refrigerated remains until Thursday - then it's for the bin...

Had some of our left-over turkey in sandwiches at lunch. All perfectly ok. DH has made a turkey broth for tonight. That'll be the end of it for another year!

Next year buy a goose-so delicious that there is hardly a scrap for leftovers and imho if turkey were that good we'd be eating it all year round

Just about to turn the last of ours into a cheats turkey and ham pie!

..strength....this is what it's doing to me.....

Still eating the turkey crown cooked on Christmas Eve [; not envy by the way but only suitable colour for eating turkey for fifth day]. Possibly one day left....gimmestrenght.....
