Sooner or later I shall have to try it. It just seems all so inevitable.

I would if they could make it without turning it into a science
project. I mean I'd try it.

Were I left on my own, a Hungry Man turkey dinner would be fine. In fact, on
my own, I would celebrate nothing at all. Id send some money to the
grandkids for Christmas or be deemed a monster. Then, they will have kids,
and the cycle never ends. Well...it does end. When I was fifteen, my mom told
me that I would eventually pay back everything I had received times a
thousand. Im only at seven hundred so far.

I was on my own for Thanksgiving a few years ago, when my husband was
on a liquid diet. I think I had shrimp cocktail for Thanksgiving.
I don't like reheated meat, so Hungry Man is out of the question.

There's no never-ending cycle for me; I never bred.

I'm late to the game in my reply. My mother used to buy turkey loaf in
the foil pan when I was a teenager. Not for holidays, it was more so
she didn't actually have to cook. Just pop it in the oven. It wasn't
bad but that's not a ringing endorsement. She served it with instant
mashed potatoes and opened a can of whatever green vegetable. She
really didn't like to cook.

I'm not Dave but hey, I'm remembering it from the 1970's so I don't
remember the brand. These days Jenny-O brand is likely. Look in the
freezer section.

Turkey or not, I don't want to think about what food from a 3D printer
might taste like. That link he posted shows what appears to be vegan
Frankenfood. (It did not come from a 3D printer.)

I'll channel Bruce for you:

Filtered water, vital wheat gluten, expeller pressed safflower oil, naturally flavored yeast extract, barley malt, whole wheat flour, granulated garlic, butternut squash, organic wheat flakes, onion powder, apples, garlic, mushrooms, yellow pea flour, lentils, lemon juice, irish moss (sea vegetable) extract, sea salt, tomato paste, red wine, black pepper, rubbed sage, spices, rosemary, paprika, natural liquid smoke and carrots.

"irish moss (sea vegetable) extract" is carrageenan.

Thanks for that, Jill. It's on my grocery list now so I will
look for it. After all these years, it's probably a different
taste/brand plus I'm sure my own tastes have changed but I
will give one a try again if I find one.

Dave said he has tried one but he never answered back
when I asked for the brand.

Dave had it at a church thing; he probably doesn't know what brand they
bought.

Yes, it was a church thing that he liked and then said he
bought the chicken version for himself. So he must have
known the brand.

Here's his quote from December 7:

"We did the same two years ago and they
had a processed turkey roll that was quite tasty. It was better
than
some roast turkey I have had. Heck, it was good enough that I
later
bought the chicken version of it for ourselves."

Sorry, I forgot about him buying the chicken version. I was remembering
(as were you) the turkey roll from the 1970's. Ping him; maybe he'll
answer your question.

Ping ping ping... I didn't bother answering because I didn't remember. I
did have the turkey roll at the Christmas dinner where we had
volunteered. I had no idea what brand sit was. However, I was impressed
enough that I picked up a stuffed chicken roll. I am not 100% sure, but
I am thinking that it was President's Choice, a store brand for Loblaws
and Zehrs.

Thanks Davers. I'll keep an eye out for that too.
I really would like to try one as I loved them so much back in
the mid-1970's.

Not trying to be contrary but I doubt you have a store brand from
Loblaws and Zehrs in Maryland. There might be a store brand at Food
Lion.

I'm not picky either, Jill. I'll look for a frozen turkey loaf
and if I see any brand, I'll give it a try.

I shop at Food Lion occasionally and Harris Teeter more often.
Other than those 2, I won't drive all around to other stores
just to save a few pennies or look for a specific brand.

Anyway, I plan to go to both stores this next week and will
report back if I find any.

They are related Canadian grocery chains and a lot of their President's
Choice products are excellent.

I still think Jenny-O is the brand you'll likely find. Don't know if
your stores will stock it but it can't hurt to look while you're there.
I certainly wouldn't drive out of my way to look for it.

Yeah, he doesn't live anywhere near a Canadian grocery store chain in
order to buy their store brand. I suggested Jenny-O, simply because I
looked up turkey loaf online based on our descriptions. Seems like the
closest brand he/we could find. I have no idea whether or not it would
be the same as what we remembered from the 1970's... just the closest
match. <shrug>

My son is working Christmas so we are doing our family Christmas dinner
on the 26th and we will be helping at the church dinner. I will try to
find out what brand they use. There is no guarantee that they will be
the same because they are likely to have been donated. I get back to you
after 10 sleeps.

Some years ago there was a special deal for a Jenny-O turkey thing
that included a can of cranberry sauce, a 5lb bag of spuds, a box
cake mix, and a couple other items I don't remember all for like
$7.99. What I remember is that Jenny-O was tossed into the yard as a
salt lick. A plain whole turkey seasoned yourself is a much better
choice... whole turkey is fairly inexpensive at holiday time. as are
smoked hams... Sugardale smoked hams are 99¢/lb for shank half, $1.09

If Gary wants turkey he'd have done far better with a frozen
Thanksgivng turkey, quality-wise and price-wise... those Jenny-O
thingies are essentially a salt lick... the one time I tried one it
went out into a hedgerow for the skunks. possums, and other critters.
I even place greasy roasting pans out under a tree, next morning
they're licked clean, just needs the dish washer.

After how many vodkas do you tell them they can't cook and live in a
goat barn?

I'm going to suggest he check the frozen meat cases for a turkey breast.
Pretty sure if Kroger stocks them then Food Lion, Publix, and other stores
most likely do too. They're about the size of a football and even then
that might be a bit much for one person. But he could cook it and freeze
what he doesn't consume for later turkey dishes.

Asssuming Gary has a freezer he can have the butcher bandsaw a frozen
turkey in half... half for soon, half for later.

Yes, that would a good option, too.

The thing is, Gary and I were talking about those frozen turkey rolls in
foil pans. Circa 1970's. Not actual turkey.

And this Thanksgiving turkeys were like 39¢/lb with a $25 purchase,
very easy to spend $25 on groceries... milk, butter. eggs, peanut
butter and jelly, a loaf of bread you're there.

I hope that I did not misinterpret "processed" when I mentioned the one
I had at that Christmas dinner at the church. I considered it to be a
proessed food because it had been commercially prepared, seasoned,
stuffed, rolled and frozen. It a real turkey breast that had been sliced
and rolled out to be stuffed and rolled up to be ready to cook. It was
not some sort of reconstitute mystery meat.

I have often done that with a whole chicken. When I buy one I
might want to cook it whole with stuffing inside but if not I
take my chefs knife and cut it into two halves, cook one and
freeze the other half.

Right before Thanksgiving, I walked right past the frozen
on sale for only $0.27 per pound. I just didn't want one
then and no freezer space to save it for later.

But you are correct... we are talking about the old
turkey LOAVES sold long ago.

These were cooked turkey, deconstucted into bite size bits
(mostly dark meat). Then filler and much seasoning added.
Then formed into a bread shape and sold as frozen. Just
heat and serve. I loved those things.

Best part was the ingredient list of about 50 chemical
compounds, including sugar probably. That turned a plain
turkey into a pretty delicious meal.

;-D
