Thanksgiving Sandwich
|
This was my lunch this afternoon. Check out that picture above. Doesn’t it look scrumptious? It’s all of my favorites (minus the pumpkin pie) between two slices of 12 grain wheat bread!
I know it sounds strange to combine some of these items together, especially stuffing on a sandwich, but don’t knock it before you try it! The stuffing is savory and the cranberry is tangy and sweet. It’s the perfect balance of all of the staples in one filling sandwich! |

Turkey Noodle Soup
|
The end of November…it’s a cold one, where I’m from, so soup is never turned down, when the wind is blowing and the snow is settling in.
Chop carrots, celery and onion in small pieces and all them to sweat in a bit of oil in a pan while you prepare the rest of your ingredients. Chop your leftover turkey or shred it with a fork. Pour approximately 6 cans of broth into a large pot and put in your egg noddles and bring to a boil. Once your veggies have softened slightly, put them and your turkey into the pot and allow it to cook and marry all of the flavors. Use salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy! |
Turkey Salad
|
This is one of my favorites – besides the standard Thanksgiving sandwich. It’s easy to make, is made up of ingredients you’re likely to have leftover after cooking your big meal on Thursday and (besides the Mayonnaise) is fairly healthy.
Using a food processor, process your turkey pieces a couple of pulses. If you prefer larger chunks, you can consider just shredding your already cut up pieces with a fork. Depending upon the amount of turkey you have available, you’ll want the celery and walnuts (optional) to give it a bit of a crunch. Chop these into small bite size pieces. Mix these in with the turkey. Slice grapes in half and stir them in with just enough mayonnaise to wet the mixture. Eat with crackers, extra celery, on top of a green salad or as a sandwich. |
