It's tempting except I am out of space in my kitchen freezer and don't want to start up the freezer in the basement. I'll think about it. G. donated her large roaster to Goodwill and is winding up with 20+ for Thanksgiving. S. is helping her single daughter move to CA. I thought it might be funny to roast a Cornish Game Hen on my own but settled on a whole chicken but even that seems too much to cook. The canned pumpkin for pie may wind up as a bisque. The cranberries plus cream cheese may frost a bagel. Anyway, for those of you posters that might be single, consider this turkey bargain as it is probably the cheapest you will find high protein all year. If you thaw the bird, you can dismember it just like a chicken. Try to buy a smaller turkey so you won't be wreastling with a 25 pounder, Try to cook and refreeze. Breasts can be pounded, stuffed and rolled- try Italian sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, oregano and garlic. Wings, legs, spine and bones can be saved for soup. Thighs are the tastiest part of the bird. You could also grind up thawed raw turkey and use for burgers, sausage or meat balls. Turkey adapts to most chicken recipes like Tettrazini or curries. You can cook it in your kettle barbacue or deep-fat fry it. But then...when I think of the odor of roasting a whole turkey, I gag, as it happened during those green days of pregnancies and never left my memory. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
