Slog - Comments on Recipe of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/recipe_of_the_day Since Jonah did the Morning News for me this morning, I didn't get a chance to tell y'all my recipe of the day. Haters like Jill Pellettieri (whose Slate piece "The case against Thanksgiving leftover recipes" runs nearly 1,000 words), may disagree, but I've always loved all the rich, semi-gross things you can do with Thanksgiving leftovers, most of them involving cream of mushroom soup. Here's one my mom made every year. Turkey A La King 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup chopped green pepper 4 ounces sliced mushrooms 1/4 cup flour 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or milk 1 can (10...

Please, in the name of all that is good and decent, make her stop. Please.

So...it is not PC. Unless you specify freedom for the serfs, the Magna Carta, etc.

Why not just throw the turkey carcass in a pot with lots of water and carrots, herbs, shrooms, onions, potatoes, let the meat fall off the bones, put in rice for the last twenty minutes, and have fresh turkey soup.
Pick out the bones and don't ladle out the turkey fat. Yum.

We saved the canned soups for tater-tot casserole. Mmmmm. Browned ground beef, 3 cans of creamed soup (celery, mushroom, and one I forget) all topped with tater tots and then baked. I think I gained three pounds just typing that. . .

I'm a vegetarian now (I eat vegan most of the time), so my leftovers consist of black bean and butternut squash chili, yams and pie (pretty hard to do anything else with those), but when I ate meat, I ate the leftover turkey by itself. I have to agree with the Slate writer. Why bother making some other recipe when it tastes so good topped with my mom's cranberry sauce with a side of stuffing and some potato or yams? I looked forward to eating the leftover version of the same meal more than the meal itself.
