Thanksgiving leftovers turkey bowl.
We’re down to the stems and seeds on our Thanksgiving leftovers, as you may have guessed by our Turkey Soup post yesterday. Today we’re having a satisfying Turkey Bowl. Start with a base of dry stuffing cooked separate from the bird, ladle on wet bits including moist dressing, hunks of turkey, shards of skin and random deliciousness scooped from the carcass and roasting pan after the breast and thigh meat had ben carved and removed. Add a dollop of giblet gravy, 3 minutes in the microwave, a couple generous spoonfuls of cranberry sauce and we’re good to go.
“Refrigerate to maintain color quality.”
But wait, where’s the Durkee’s Famous Sauce you are asking? Alas, that’s the one part we miss by not making a sandwich. We still have most of a jar left… will it be good till next year? We checked the jar for a “sell by” date and couldn’t find one. We did find this admonition in mall print on the side: “refrigerate to maintain color quality”. No “refrigerate after opening” or other food safety advisory? I guess that’s what you would expect from a condiment that used to be manufactured by a paint company.
“refrigerate to maintain color quality” Just like ketchup. Left in the cupboard it turns brick red, but is just as mediocre a condiment as ever.
