and well worth it. :-) I've cooked complete Thanksgiving and Christmas
feasts before and have always enjoyed doing it. Since I had T-day over
with my sister and her family (dad slept in), I'd decided to go ahead
and cook another one here for him yesterday when I had more time to cook.

If anyone is interested, here are the pics with narrative in the
captions:

<http://picasaweb.google.com/OMPOmelet/Thanksgiving2009#>

I'd already been up all night at work so was already tired, but it all
worked out ok. I'd started the turkey stock for the gravy on Friday so
it was already done and cooled so I could finish processing it.

Meanwhile, we now have turkey leftovers (etc.) for the rest of the week
so I don't have to cook if I don't want to. <g> I was joking with my
brother in law yesterday about all the posts relating to using up
leftover turkey. His response was the same as mine:

"What's leftover turkey?". ;-)

We pretty much just eat it as is except for maybe a few sandwiches...

Nice series....... especially the one of your Dad :-)


I can imagine him saying...... "Dang girl!! We got some good eatin' shit
here!!" ;-P


One question............ the "dressing"?

Would that be like a 'stuffing' that usually goes in the cavity of the
bird? But from the list of ingredients that you put in it, it's a cross
between a stuffing and a 'side' dish in it's own right.

Over here, the only dressing we have is what we put on salad...... like
Ranch, Caeser... etc, etc.

Also, with the whipped cream...... have you tried it with Icing Sugar
(Confectioners sugar??)....... or is that too much in the way of sugar
intake?

That's what we do, work at it as is. I did make a breast meat
sandwich today on rye with a little mayo. All that's left is the neck
and some bits on the frame... I may gnaw at the frame or toss it out
for the crows, then use the neck to make a better ramen soup.

Your dad looks great.

Yeah, but I don't stuff turkeys any more. It slows the cooking time and
you tend to end up with an overcooked bird to make sure the interior is
done. Dries the whole thing out.

I need to get some sourdough. I love turkey on sourdough toast. I'm
currently on a maintenance diet and will go back on low cal' after the
holidaze. I want to make soup out of the carcass this year. I don't
generally do that.

Only 5 hours eh? I've got that one beat, probably about 22 hours over
three days for my T-Day dinner, just completed today. Everything came
out perfect, whole lot of leftovers. I have to run out last night to get
ice for a cooler as I ran out of refrigerator space. Urp!

When we picked out our free turkey, we picked just about the smallest
one, perhaps 14 pounds. We could have chosen a big one in the
24 pound range, but I am not interested in pounds of leftover turkey.
A dinner, a couple of sandwiches, and that sucker is done, one way
or another.

Hear, hear! <g> I waffled about buying one of the $.37/lb birdies
available for the last month and decided I would. Fourteen pounds was
just the size I was looking for. And found.

I'm with you, Kid. I love cold turkey. The one Beck served fed 11 of
us and left sandwich fixin's for later and some for pickin' at will.
There wasn't a lot of gravy left so hot open-face turkey sandwiches were
out of consideration.

My breakfast on Friday morning was heated wild rice, cold turkey, fruit
salad, cranberries, and some pickles. The turkey was really good.

In your pics, Om, you say you "treated' your birdy with butter and soy
sauce. What does that mean? Injected that mixture yourself? Rubbed?
IMWTK. Thanks.

The last picture... the look on your Dad's face..... THAT is one of the
best rewards of cooking a good meal.

Becca's son's were with us for Thanksgiving and few things make her
happier than watching them enjoy her cooking.

Nice job, Om!

I would have bought a turkey while they were on sale for 27 cents per lb
except they all weighed twenty pounds or more. That much turkey would
last us a year. As it is I cooked the daughters "free" turkey and it
weighed 20.8 lbs, good thing the gas oven has a convection feature or it
would have taken all day.

I bought 6 cheap ones a couple of years ago and made sausage out of the
breast meat, then put away wings, thighs and legs for later meals...

It is indeed! More fun cooking for others than myself. Truly.

Agreed on all but the gravy. Man, really? Chunks of stuff in it?

I was traumatized by turkeys that seemed to last for months when
I was a kid. Heh. Hey, I don't blame my mother, she got dinner on
the table every night on one income, but she could make that darned
turkey last forever.

I'm thinking another thing to be added to the "grateful list" is we
don't have to eat turkey much now.

That's a very good point. I'm thankful I can have dinner and a couple
of sandwiches and feel like I can be done with it.

I love turkey leftovers and never get tired of them before the turkey
runs out. Since T-day dinner, we have had turkey sandwiches at least
three times, turkey soup twice and tonight will be the end with a turkey
variation on the King Ranch Chicken Casserole. Oops... won't eat all of
it tonight... left-overs will be tomorrow's lunch.

AND - we have two more 16 pounders in the freezer. I'm planning on
getting a smoker sometime soon and will try that on one of them.

Your food has the Betty Crocker look about it. And as for your old
man, he have a stroke or sumfin? He looks like a stuttering fool.

If we are not meant to eat animals,
why are they made of meat?

I, on the other hand, am grateful that we can eat it whenever we want.
:-) They sell the drumsticks, thighs, wings and breasts separately (as
well as whole turkeys) all year long if we want them. Dad and I both
love it and, to me, it's about as ubiquitous as chicken...

Nobody ever seems to complain about too much chicken?

Mm, even tho' I plan to serve duck for Christmas, turkeys will still be
cheap all holiday season. I have my smoker and it's in the plans to try
spatching and smoking one. :-) My family is looking forward to it as my
sister and her family know that it'll be shared with them.

I'm going to probably soak it in a cure first.
