What do you mean by "Turkey breast half"? Do you mean the left turkey
titty or the right turkey titty? I think what you mean is "Turkey
breast... perhaps that hen has Double Ds, then her breast is more than
a measly half a turkey.

I am a total newbie to this NG. But you can find great recipes by
google.......just guessing but try searching "chicken breast recipes" or
Turkey breast recipes".

Yup, that's right.

A turkey breast includes the breast meat on both sides of the bird. Only
one side is a breast half.

Well my point is I've never seen turkey breast *halves* sold, only
*whole* turkey breasts.

They exist. Works out well for singles or small families. I never buy
them, though. You can pay the same for a breast as for a whole turkey.
With the whole turkey, you can make so many "leftover" dishes. My favorite
is Jill's Turkey Cottage Pie. To die for. Have you tried it yet?

Jill's original recipe was intended for 2 ramekins. I've altered it to be
made as a casserole. You won't be disappointed!

Minor correction - a ramekin is a small dish used for serving sauces and
garnishes. This should read 2 individual serving sized casserole dishes

And thank you for loving and promoting my recipe! It's good!

A ramekin is simply a small baking dish. You must be thinking of something
else?

I'm thinking of the tiny dishes used in restaurants to serve sauces, extra
butter and garnishes. Like this:

Trust me, you'd have to eat 3 of these 5 oz. ramekins to make a meal of my
turkey cottage pie.

Ramekins come in a range of sizes. I've got a set of 10-ounce ramekins that
I use for individual soufflés.

My wife throws it in the crockpot overnight with a little water,
poultry seasoning, pepper and a bunch of vegetables - like a crockpot
roast. It melts in your mouth.

And if you have any leftovers - cut up the meat in bite-size pieces,
put a little oil in a pan and cook some onions, a little garlic and
some sliced mushrooms. Throw in the turkey, add a little salt and
pepper and some Marsala. Reduce. Serve over rice, toast or noodles.
Good stuff.
