(Any other man would call it flu so that's very stoic of you ;-)<BR/><BR/>I was tempted by that Jamie Oliver recipe too but, as you point out it has a lot of ingredients which rather offset the economy of using turkey leftovers. Still, one could adapt it.<BR/><BR/>Turkey rolls with cranberry jelly and port (yummy) will probably go down equally well, if not better.Fiona Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12970779962455905201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-91768943890284733582008-12-26T20:15:00.000+00:002008-12-26T20:15:00.000+00:00I can sympathise with the 'more turkey than we int...I can sympathise with the 'more turkey than we intended' scenario: I'm still coming out the other end of a cold + chest infection nightmare, the first phase of which meant that I missed the question of what size got sent to the butcher on our order. We've just finished hosting for our first guests of Christmas with a 15lb giant of a bird that looks like it's barely suffered a scratch.<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of serving up <A HREF="http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs/jamie-oliver/asian-inspired-turkey-salad-recipe_p_1.html" REL="nofollow">this Jamie Oliver recipe</A> for some more of my family we're seeing tomorrow, but I'm a few ingredients short and won't be making special purchases. I'll probably just take a load of turkey, rolls, and my girlfriend's cranberry jelly with port she brilliantly whipped up today, then let people grab what they fancy. Looking forward to it.Career Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10566880548603573056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-31929772845604645222008-12-26T11:47:00.000+00:002008-12-26T11:47:00.000+00:00Leaving the turkey in the shower surely is the bas...Leaving the turkey in the shower surely is the basis of a great Christmas comedy :-) Think your suggestions sound yummy, though there is the perennial problem of "turkey fatigue"...curry is definitely the way to go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-82092378397939732702008-12-26T11:32:00.000+00:002008-12-26T11:32:00.000+00:00Wouldn't have thought so, regretfully, NSM.

I go to my Dad's for Christmas dinner, and this year it was my brother's turn to cook - and he's a chef! - so everything was pretty much demolished between the 10 of us.<BR/><BR/>I do still have some venison sausages left over, which I bought about 10 days ago - do you think they will still be ok to cook? I'm not very good at guessing if there's no use by date on!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124374747737466986noreply@blogger.com
