Take one turkey drumstick...... and then what?Have a garden and cupboards full of stuff. And a severe case of the Friday afternoon cooking doldrums. |

Take the meat off and make some sort of satayish thing? | ||||

Roasted - then shredded and served with a spicy vegetable rice. | ||||

roast then eat like a caveman. | ||||

We have to share it - it was a big turkey! |

Bernie-woman's Spiced Coconut Cream Chicken sounds nice. But with turkey obviously. | ||||
| judith |
That does sound good. Don't have any cream, but I think it would be OK without.
Ian's spicy veggie rice would go nicely with it. |

Curry perhaps, add lots of other veg and it should go a long way

boil it & also boil a small gammon joint.
Use some of the turkey to make a curry. Use some of the gammon as cold cuts. chop up the rest and make turkey and ham pies in a white sauce made with cider (or white wine) and mushrooms (season w/ herbs du provence). A good size turkey leg and a decent amount of gammon, bulked up with mushroom sauce should make about 4 x 10" pies (2" deep), short crust pastry (blind baked bases). Glaze the top with egg, this is good enough to give to in-laws (depending on pastry skills), but very cheap & quite easy (if you do lots at the same time. Freezes very well- do it occasionally & always have a pie ready for bunging in the oven. Then make loads of soup: pea and ham from the gammon stock and a thinner soup of finely shredded summer veg and pearl barley with the turkey stock. Put the boiled bone in the oven with the first pie, then crush & add to the compost. |

You forgot the bit about first scraping out all the marrow with a long metal skewer. Or is it only in our house that this happens? (Not by me, I hasten to add, but the dog often looks very disgruntled indeed). |

I must admit I dont do this...though recently I caught my OH putting a lamb bone from a cutlet to her mouth and sucking hard until there was "POP" and an empty bone. She must've been hungry. Its all that breast feeding. |

1. Put the turkey leg in the fridge, well covered.
2. Go down to Llanfair and buy some fish and chips and a bottle of red and spicy. 3. Return home and eat. |

The beat combo must sound a bit odd. | ||||

Tempting, very tempting

Go on, you know you want to .

Pusher.  Are you on commission?
|
||||
| Chez |
That's why they've put their prices up
|
||||
| sean |
It's a very niche-y approach to marketing, but good luck to them. | ||||

I think it's the smack in the batter that's really getting them the repeat custom. | ||||
| judith |
Don't really fancy chips, but the crispy lamb from the Chinese is sounding rather good at the mo.
And it's on the way back from the station after picking up OH... |

Roast it with honey, ginger, garlic and chinese 5 spice, and service with sping onions and hoisin sauce and pancakes?
Or roast with garlic and herbs and butter, and serve with hot bread and salad (my friday night staple with chicken - it's the first new spuds from the garden this week, though) |
||||
| judith |
Hmm. That could be a winner. I have no pancakes though - wonder if there are any tortillas in the permafrost at the bottom of the freezer. |
||||
| sean |
Or some sort of noodly/rameny thing. You could have some kimchi with it. | ||||
| judith |
Ran out of noodles on Sunday.
But kimchi, what a good idea for a side dish.
|
||||
| sean |
Indeed and surprisingly simple to make apparently. I wonder if there's a helpful article anywhere? | ||||

Give the whole lot raw to the dog, I am sure my dog gave me smile when I did this!! |
