The mashed potatoes went first, and it was all downhill from there. The pumpkin cheesecake is gone. The cranberry sauce is kaput. The stuffing went bye-bye. The turkey has been reduced to two piddlin', mostly-empty bags of white and dark.
A lot of the turkey ended up as something new - turkey and dumplings, turkey potpie, turkey in gravy. In that respect, we still have a bunch of that left. Leftovers of leftovers.
It's all very sad.
Today, for the first time in a week, we will have beef. Hamburgers. Maybe spaghetti.
And with that, it's time to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Until the next holiday - in three weeks.
Do you have any Thanksgiving leftovers left? Are you sick of turkey yet? What's for dinner tonight?
I'm British so we don't have Thanksgiving, but after Christmas I love having turkey curry, cold turkey & chips, and last year I even made a turkey chilli. It's all the work / friends functions in the run up to Christmas that get me bored with turkey, so I try to change it up a bit and have a veggie option now & again.
ReplyDeleteWe're all about the turkey sandwiches and pie, which is why I only roast a turkey breast and make a pie, or two. And cinnamon rolls, with leftover dough for hot rolls to go with dinner for awhile. I haven't decided dinner tonight. Probably either pot roast or chili. Depends on when I get out to get to the store.
ReplyDeleteI did have leftovers, but dumped them. Figured a week old was old enough. :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here, but I'm looking forward to a similar meal at Christmas and love all the leftovers.
