I didn’t get a lot of Thanksgiving pics, but I made this short video.

The obligatory Thanksgiving Turkey pics. I smoked the 21lb spatchcocked one over cherry. The 17lb whole turkey was roasted in the oven. We ate the smoked one for Thanksgiving dinner and the roasted one was carved up and sent home with everyone who wanted leftovers.
Now today the smoked carcass is simmering to become some sort of soup later. Haven’t decided exactly what the soup will have in it but it will definitely include turkey. 🤣Attached FilesLast edited by OC Sandy; December 1, 2024, 01:53 PM.Comment

Nothing special, EXCEPT, these were made with the trimming of rib and beef primals.
in other words, I ground these myself.

On Friday, after decorating the Jalapeno Tree, I harvested jalapenos and datils.
To use some of these, I decided to make some pozole yesterday, since I still had one last bag of Rancho Gordo pozole (thanks, @Sid P). Of course, with a turkey carcass to pick, this had to be turkey pozole.
Because the taste of datil peppers is very bright, I chose a base of roasted tomatillo and onion. I also roasted three deseeded jalapenos. That got blendered with some cilantro and three of the datils. Then this got diluted with chicken broth and added to the turkey to simmer a while. And finally, fully assembled:
This turned out great. Those tiny datil peppers really pack a punch (100,000 -300,000 Scoville units vs 2500 -8000 Scoville units for jalapenos), but three of them spread out over an entire pot of pozole worked out great to give just the right amount of heat for us. The flavor really came through, and the whole soup really worked.
There's enough left for tonight's dinner too.Last edited by Jim White; December 1, 2024, 05:07 PM.Comment

Pulled a Napa cabbage and kohlrabi from the garden, put some chicken thighs on the griddle and made a salad.Comment

SheilaAnn if you look in the salad you see little slivers about the size of a match stick. That is the kohlrabi. It was excellent.

Had a bunch of uncooked taters from turkey day, I was gonna make tater wedges and some frozen burgers but my wife rightfully said we needed to do something else. So a yard bird straight from the store and sorta roasted taters it was.
Had some left over duck fat and a few sprigs of rosemary as well as some garlic con fit that needed using up... and we did.
only thing on the chicken was an unused turkey injector, and no time for anything else. Won't hear me complain here... 425 the whole way and still some smoke flavor and color on the bird, go MAK go!

Jfrosty27 I wish I had some larger disposable pans around, as many taters as were in there even with mixing, quite a few are just cooked but not crusty. But it worked out, crusty ones for dinner and not so crusty ones will survive the nuker better for leftovers

Turkey pot pie with Thanksgiving leftover turkey. Had a store bought frozen pie crust in a pan and made a top crust from scratch.
Filled with leftover turkey, some fresh veggies, leftover stock and some gravy and a little milk.

One of my favorite foods to make has gotta be gumbo, usually chicken and sausage gumbo, always using Andouille. Made my first pot of the season tonight and damn, it turned out really good! I only had 2 1/2 bowls of it, gotta watch my girlish figure…
Cut up the bell pepper before I remembered to take pics…
Start of making the roux
25 minutes later it was done
Added the veggies to the roux to cool it off
Chicken and sausage prepped ahead of time
2 hours later it’s done

Tonight's diner post eating turkey Thursday, Friday (both lunch and dinner), and Saturday (both lunch and dinner)! Steak and mashed taters!! Yay!! Better yet, the Mrs. requested it! So, 2 NY Harris Ranch prime NY strips and mashed gold taters with chives. I had a nice far Niente cab and she went with a nice Duckhorn merlot. Very satisfying.
(and yes, those are my dinner meds...)

Leftover turkey and ham street tacos. I also put some of the charro beans that I made yesterday on them and a little chipotle salsa and some Cotija cheese as well. Topped all three with red Hatch chile sauce.

We hosted the family - 11 people - on Thanksgiving day. Turkey, stuffing (dressing, since I spatchcock), and gravy were my responsibilities. No photos, but it was delicious.
After three days of leftovers we’d had our fill of T-food and our boys were begging for a change. So smash burgers to the rescue!
Served with fries and salad.Comment
