One Turkey meal remaining in the freezer.
Soup from the carcass was lovely.

We’re having duck tomorrow.

Loved the poem MBM, thank you and happy New Year ?

I love turkey sandwIches. Unfortunately we seldom have any leftovers to use up.

Turkey stew tonight - I made stock yesterday from the carcass.
It’s a favourite in this house, and besides the turkey, will use up a lot of veg.
Will be enough for at least 2 meals so half will probably go in the freezer.
There will still be leftover turkey to go in meal-sized packets in the freezer. In winter I use it to make a spicy mulligatawny soup - recipe says a chicken breast but leftover turkey or chicken works fine.

We still have a whole Christmas pudding, but dh will happily eat that all through January. So will I, if there’s any brandy butter left.

Last night we had Turkey and mushroom fricassee. There are two lots in the freezer, one for salad and one for fruity Turkey tagine.

Carcus sorted and stock in freezer.

Now it’s the left over cake and pudding.

There's one portion of turkey & gravy in the freezer and that's the last of Xmas dinner - just the smoked salmon and chocolates to work my way through smile

Oh, my cousin read this over the phone to me on Christmas Eve and I laughed and laughed. I was thinking of asking him to email me a copy, but you’ve saved me (and him) a job!?

I’m throwing the turkey remnants out today as nobody has used them for a sandwich like they said they would?

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 and chips.
