Interesting! Sounds great, and best of all, different! I'm so original (not!) that my leftover turkey is all made up into turkey salad for sandwiches and turkey and dumpling soup!

That sounds terrific! We have NO turkey left-overs. That is what happens when you go to someone else's house for Thanksgiving. Will be whipping up one just for us soon and I'll check back in on this. Thanks for the post.

We actually have no turkey leftovers either, otter. We usually travel for this holiday. Like you, we have a turkey frozenlike a bowling ball that we plan on roasting pretty soon and I'll try this then. Hope you like it!

It is very different which is why it appealed to me, I guess. Like you, my turkey leftover meals are pretty dull and boring, grandma. Here's hoping you rnjoy it!

Sounds really interesting. I'll have to try it when we cook another turkey. I guess we just love turkey any way its fixed. No leftovers. This sounds great though, always ready for something new. Thanks for the post.
