I don’t believe I’ve ever done this before: I cooked a turkey and it wasn’t Thanksgiving.
Denis got a free turkey from work at Thanksgiving time, but since my family was in town, I had bought a giant turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. That little 11.5 pound turkey has been in the freezer ever since. Yesterday I cooked it. I didn’t bother with all the regular trimmings. I just made mashed potatoes. I had a meal of turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy. Mmmm… it was soooo good.
Note for next time: I used red potatoes and left the skins on, since I was being lazy. I didn’t care for skin-in mashed potatoes along with my turkey. I won’t do that again.
Ha! That’s the kind of weirdness a couple of freak snowstorms should bring out. Delicious-looking weirdness, I should say. Mmmmmmmm…….
The perfect shade of browned-doneness.
Thou dost maketh me covet thine turkey! Yummeth!!
Reminds me of a pair of black and white snaps you had on your board a few years back when the late great Ned was still with us…………..but this bird looks ready to eat! Congratulations on thinking outside the proverbial holiday box, too. Now I wonder what Easter dinner will be – stuffed rock fish?
We’re having “Mustgo” tonight. You know…”everything in the frig must go”? Leftovers from more cooking in a single week than I believe we have ever done before. Ever. God bless the blizzards of ’10!
