wiffleball 4,640 Posted November 12, 2020 So, let's say it's just you. Or you and the mrs. Or mr. You don't feel like doing the whole turkey day thing. There's not going to be a massive family gathering. You can pretty much eat whatever the hell you want to eat. What would you order as a treat for that day? I mean, anything from Lou Malnati's to Jose stone crabs. What would you Google and or order online as a treat for that day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually do 2 cups Go extra on the chicken stock. I add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of water to it. It should be an almost runny texture. Its focking awesome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,199 Posted November 12, 2020 Turkey is nowhere near my favorite food, but I would still do the turkey and trimmings, because I associate that with Thanksgiving and fond memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the dark meat much more than the white (heh heh). Luckily the rest of the family favors the bland white meat, which leaves lots of leftovers for me.

GutterBoy 2,281 Posted November 12, 2020 I take the leftover turkey and give it a quick pan fry in some oil, then I'll throw in some stuffing and mashed potatoes, pour a little gravy over it while stirring together. When full heated, put a spoonful or two on a plate, top with cranberry sauce, delcious. Turkey hash, I call it turkey slop, and it's better than the actual meal. I will also include some green bean casserole if it's just for me, because I'm the only person in my family that actually likes the green bean casserole. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
