I can bring a dish,wadda, you want

don't have any (and I don't really like them T-day style, but the house does)

Too late smart about why is it taking so damn long??

yikes!

Turkey in a chicken type salad with lots of mayo if the meat is dry.

will plan at least one lunch - stuffed into fresh tomatoes!

gravy is considered a beverage. NEVER have enough!

would save any disaster. I would take the dry pieces and make some nice pot pies with loads of gravy. I have a recipe for a lemon pastry crust (it does not take like lemon) that is perfect PERFECT for pot pies. I am sure it is not unusual except for people who do not cook with a sense of adventure or enjoyment like me.

but I think I'm done with the oven/baking for a few days. though those could be done in the toaster oven outside...

I bet you could. I have not had a toaster oven for a long time. One of my sons has one and loves to use it for much more than what we used to have them for. Good luck. We love pot pies, so many ways to make them.

Gravy. Do your Slicing and POUR Some Gravy over those slices. Please do not forget the Mashed Potatoes and more Gravy. Nice side of Cranberry would be great.


GRAVY!!!!!!!!

I could bathe in turkey gravy, any kind of gravy really. Just drown it in gravy, it'll taste great.

the pan drippings were to die for!

Homer Simpson 8 Glasses of Gravy

deboned and cut up all the meat and most of it was fine! white is dry to be sure, but honestly I have had worse! (Grandma REALLY believed in cooking things well done) there were a few crunchy edges on the wings and "knees" but the dogs and I just snacked on them for breakfast. carcass is on to simmer for broth (gravy, soup).

and the pan drippings! OMG! the gravy is going to be magnificent. way too big of a hot dinner for this time of year, but...mashed potatoes and gravy! can't resist that. I don't like stuffing so if the house wants it there is some stovetop available and at least one bag of cranberries in the freezer too. they were supposed to be for smoothies, but have we used them in the past 8 months? nope. so thanksgiving dinner (almost) it is, though the meat will have to be reheated in microwave (or gravy ).

Thin slices warmed in a steamer for hot turkey sandwiches for later.

Steamers can overcome a lot of culinary sins in addition to freshening stale dinner rolls.

Nest time you want turkey in summer, butcher that thing down. It's the only way and you get to sleep all night.

it didn't really slice too well but I have a good pile of meat. I had originally planned to cut it up, but by the time it got to start that it was already too hot and I just didn't want to wrestle with it.

I want to get a barrel smoker and try that.

also I had already learned my lesson about big turkeys but this was one of those on sale been in the freezer way too long things.

You can mix the leftovers with the gravy for open face sandwiches.

oven on 225. I pour melted butter over top. Ummm the smell in house about 4am. And the giblets breakfast after they baked for 12 hours. Dogs love me too on those mornings. Edit to add. I don't buy turkeys. I buy what Mrs calls,Small Volkswagens... bigger us better!

Yes more gravy
