What to do with Thanksgiving Leftovers




Nothing tastes better than a turkey/dressing/cranberry sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. Everybody loves the day-after leftovers. But then, there's the real leftovers to deal with, like turkey stock....

"Hi Mom, I'm boiling the turkey carcas for soup, do you want some turkey stock?....You have three quarts of your own? Well who can I give some to? I hate to see it go to waste."

"Hi Jo, this is Sally. I have two quarts of turkey stock for give-away, my mother doesn't want it.....yeah, I'll trade for mashed potatoes, we ate all ours."

"Hi Susan, this is Jo. I have two quarts of turkey stock left over. Got any extra cranberry sauce to swap? ...Wonderful, swing by whenever you can."

Hi Maggie, this is Susan. Can you use some nice fresh turkey stock? I'll swap for a pumpkin pie. No, half is good...you got any new pantyhose to throw in?....Great!"

Hi Patty, it's Susan. I'm trying to move some really flavorful turkey stock. Two ferry tickets? Both North, South, or one of each? ... Two North? Did you make your candied yams this year? ......Okay, one ticket and candied yams."

Hey, Clarice, it's Patty. I have the best turkey stock you have ever had. You could add one carrot and one stalk of celery and have soup. What have you got to get rid of?.....No, I figured you didn't cook....half pint of rum is good, are you sure you want to part with it? ....hell, I can't tell the cheap stuff from the good stuff anyway, I'll take your word for it. I'll throw in my Iron Man II dvd. We already saw it, it's good for one viewing."

Hi Georgia, it's Clarice. You know I don't cook, but Patty gave me a huge container of her turkey stock and you know she's a great cook. Wanna trade?.....Oh, a slab of smoked ham would be terrific!"

Hi Lulu, it's Georgia. I have some scrumptious turkey stock to move....oh, I love your pecan pies, half is fine!"

"Hi Sally, it's Lulu. Listen, I have this incredible turkey stock to give away. It smells delicious right through the container, interested?"

"Yes! I made the worst turkey I ever made yesterday and the stock was so thin it looked like I added a brown crayon to hot water. I traded it early this morning to Jo, so I could really use some good stuff. I have rum balls and macadamia fruit cake to trade......rum balls it is!"
