Thanksgiving Turkey Cake...
To all of our friends from the States...Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! After the day, and you have time to relax after a belly-groaning meal and entertaining family and friends it is time to move on to the next culinary adventure. Do you have the energy to make what you see above after the big day........sigh.... I know that I wouldn't since that would be too Martha Stewart of me, but I had to show you this "cake" I found on the web.. The bird has been carved and served, you’ve indulged in Aunt Maggie’s famous pumpkin pie, waistbands have been loosened or perhaps you just wore expandable pants for the occasion. The kids are already starting to talk about Christmas, but, before you bring out the decorations you need to do something with the leftovers from the Thanksgiving meal.
Many people don’t have the energy or the desire to deal with leftovers from a holiday meal and more often than not chuck the whole thing in the freezer only to throw them out at Easter. You could make this cake from leftover stuffing, mashed potatoes and turkey pictured above, if you have any energy left, or you can use one of the great recipes below. There are so many tasty uses for pre-cooked turkey, vegetables and left over mashed potatoes that it seems a shame to waste them. Not only will it save you time preparing meals in the week following a big holiday dinner but will also stretch your food budget.
If I still haven’t convinced you then divide your left over turkey into portions (about 2 cups) in freezer bags to pull out later in the winter when you have a craving for turkey again… Super Bowl Turkey Chili anyone?
Here are some great ideas! If you have any more leave a
comment with your link and I will add your recipe to the list if you would like!! Can we get to 101 uses fro leftover turkey? Now back to the treadmill....
