What's with this "wasteful leftovers" crap!?

There are NO wasted leftovers on any of my turkeys. Turkey sammies with
a good mayo and Cranberry Jelly are to die for. In fact, many folks
cook a whole "large" turkey jes so they will have plenty of "leftovers".

Millennial's are idiots. I give you the "man bun", as proof.

My late M-I-L taught me how to make turkey soup w/ noodles. That poor
bird didn't come away wasting anything. Rendered it right down to the
bones (which I pick out and toss).

That's a little too small for us; we prefer a 14-pounder. We don't let
the leftovers go to waste. My husband can't stand bitter stuff, but he
doesn't taste the off flavors in reheated meat.

My post-Thanksgiving leftovers involve cold turkey sandwiches and salads
with turkey on them. A particular favorite of mine is dressed with balsamic
vinegar, a little bacon fat and olive oil.

I believe they think it makes them look like samurai. How some pasty,
scrawny post-adolescent can believe that is quite a leap of the
imagination.

My favorite on Thanksgiving is the sides, not the turkey. I don't think
I'm alone in that. Leftover turkey sandwiches, that's where it's at for
me.

But this Thanksgiving is a bust, the family's not getting together.
No 6 pound turkey for us, it's going to be a prime rib roast. With
stuffing and pumpkin pie.

That sounds like a good idea. You can cook a turkey for a family and not
be stuck eating leftovers for a week. I always ask me wife to order the
smallest turkey they can get.

If they really want to go small, get a Cornish Hen.

That's a little too small. 8 to 10 would be good for the two of us.
Some leftovers are good, but don't need 14 pounds of thrm.

I simmer the carcass until it literally falls apart; then pick any remaining
meat off the bones and end up with a nice pile of turkey scraps and a big
batch of gelatinous turkey broth. So, there is turkey noodle soup and
turkey tetrazzini to be made from the carcass and foisted off on my children
on a coupld of our Sunday family meals. Then there are sandwiches of
several varieties to be made from the extra breast meat and turkey ala king
from dark meat. Of course, by December 1st, I never want to hear about, see
or eat turkey again. All those dishes mentioned to use up left overs must
be spread across the coming year; so, into the freezer the turkey remnants
go.

Now, It is about a week before Thanksgiving, and another damn turkey, and I
still have 12 ounces of turkey meat in the freezer from last year (vacuum
sealed, of course).

I am not a fan of turkey, never have been and most likely never will be.
There are so many better meats in this world, even birds that are much
better. Tradition, bah, humbug! A tiny turnkey is a brilliant solution to
a tradition with too much inertia to be stopped. My only objection is, a 6
pound turkey might be a little big for my family - I'm rooting for
individual Cornish Game Turkey's, about 1 pound each.

The millennials are going to do things the way they want to. That's the way it always is. I'm glad they're rejecting big-ass turkeys. I should be doing that too.

They're also having less sex. This could be an interesting trend. The Japanese and Chinese seem to be even less interested in intimate contact with other humans. Well, that's refreshing and ominous.

They are sort of the same. They're both baked products that rely on heat reacting with eggs to create a leavening action. The popover dough forms a hollow shell and balloons out of the pan. It's fun to make and looks impressive but mostly it's a lot of hot air. I'll eat one but the experience is mostly hollow and empty. They're easy to make. I've made them but I'm so over popovers.

Yes, some people love popovers. There was a popover craze in the US about 15 years ago. That's fads for you - sometime they're pretty random. Yer puds are alright but mostly I was delighted to meet a cook that was so very proud of them. It was a highlight of my time in Wales.

Probably a duck or a goose; maybe a nice, fat capon. I'll see which speaks
to me when I go shopping for Christmas meal. 8-) I'd much rather have a
joint of mutton or rack of lamb, but my daughter wouldn't eat it.

They are basically the same recipe, though good Yorkshire pudding should
be cooked in pre-heated hot pan with a generous amount of hot beef fat
in it. Leftover Yorkies could be eaten with butter and jam. Due to the
nature of them they lose a lot of their quality scrumptiousness when
re-heated. Fresh or re-heated, they are a good vehicle for gravy.

It looks like Christmas at our house this year is going to be just us,
our son and his girlfriend. That is not enough people for a turkey and
I am going to be lobbying for prime rib.

The tricky one this year may be Christmas Eve. We traditionally have
tourtiere or a beef and mushroom pie and salad, and he always invite my
nephew and his significant other. He discovered this year that he has a
serious diabetes problem and has to be very careful about the starches
he eats. I would be happy to switch to a more Catholic dinner with
seafood but I am not sure how well that would go over with his SO and
her daughter.

I'd rather chicken or duck, not fond of turkey either.

making additional dishes with turkey just makes more turkey leftovers.
For years I suffered through turkey soup because it was the thing to
do. I don't like the taste of turkey broth/soup. I don't make T soup
anymore. And turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce? Uh, no.

My neighbors said they were having turkey for Thanksgiving -- they
bought a turkey pot pie ;-)
