What’s for Dinner Tonight?

Some ideas to "change" the turkey... SLice thinly, dice, or chop, then saute in some olive oil with cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder, then use as a taco/burrito/whatever filling.

Slice/dice/chop the turkey, saute in olive oil with garlic powder, basil, and oregano, then mix with spaghetti sauce, serve on pasta.

A favorite around here is Thanksgiving Leftover Supper. Slice the turkey, make a pot of stovetop, some mashed potatoes (I use instant- Idahoan), open some cranberry sauce. Make a packet of turkey gravy (or a can or jar) if you are gravy people. We either do it as a quick dinner or make sandwiches (turkey/stuffing/cranberry). Honestly... you got 2 dinners and a lunch out of it already, and it was free, so you are ahead of the game even if you don't have it again. If you have bones from the turkey, make soup and freeze it. You can get some more mileage out of that bird!

LittleGuy is here for overnight, so we had "Supper Pie," as he calls it- your basic hamburg/creamed corn/mashed potatoes shepards pie. He loves it.

I love the taco/burito idea.

There was so much and I could have sliced up some more if I dug in. I made another plate with mayo for two more sandwiches and froze two portions of sliced turkey with it's juice for two other meals. If I remember to pick up taco shells (soft or hard) next time I shop (I shop every two weeks or so now), I will use your suggestion!!! Thank you.
 

Hubby came home today. Our oldest daughter had her baby boy on Weds night. He's adorable. 🍼👶

With hubby here now, I have to make my supper menu a bit more hearty. So I'm BBQ'n some sirloin burgers tonight. He'll have his with a bun and all the fixin's. I make mine into a hamburger salad. I'll cut up some potatoes for steak fries as a side.

Happy Friday!Screen Shot 2026-02-06 at 1.23.46 PM.png

think I will try baked scallops... last time I did not like the recipe I tried (too much butter and panko) so think i will go with a ritz cracker topping and a lemon garlic butter.... with rice and likely some broccoli
