IDK why, but it always seems weird to me when people use turkey in recipes - except right after Thanksgiving. I'm not judging, it just never occurs to me to use turkey in anything.

 

I do love a good turkey, as long as it's not overcooked and dry! It is one of those things that really needs to be watched for temperature, and once it gets above 165°f, it should be removed from the oven. Once it gets over 200, it will start to dry out.

Besides, I'm using lunch meat turkey. I was given some sliced turkey, and I'll just dice it up and add it in with the veggies and rice. And I just realized I forgot to get some hoisin sauce! Oh well.

Anyway, I do love the winter turkey season! Especially if I get a full bird. Once I roast it, I get all the meat off, and use the bones for stock! I really love using turkey stock! It has a lot of gelatin and it makes for a great soup or stew! (Unfortunately, my crock pot is currently cracked and so I've got to get a new one!)

 

It does make excellent stock! I always make turkey soup after Thanksgiving. Ususally dumpling.

Get an Instant Pot. It has a slow cooker feature, so you'll have a slow cooker and a pressure cooker - and an air fryer if you choose the model with that. I love mine!

 

My brother introduced me to Costco's rotisserie chicken, and at $5 for a whole bird, that is really great!

 

I love a build your own taco/burrito bar.

 

It turned out to be a hit! We did churros and Mexican wedding cookies for dessert.
For "casual", we usually do BBQ, so it was nice that no one had to stand over the grill the whole time.

 

You got ripped off, buddy.
That's nothing but crust.

 

Lol lol just looks that way

 

@Truthful 1 I would have just given your post a like out of politeness. But since you tagged me telling me that this is Italian I have to be truthfully honest with you. What the fuck is it? Please don’t tell me it’s pizza, please don’t.

As long as you enjoyed whatever that thing is that’s all that matters. Then again I would never take food advice from someone who payed $140.00 for two cheeseburgers and a couple of watered down drinks

 

It’s grandma’s pizza bad picture. Made by an authentic ginzo jackweed .

 

Me I like them

 

So do I

 

Sounds strange but I’d eat you , oops I meant it .

 

It was very strange. Edible, but strange.

 

Yes why the penne

 

Garlic mashed or something I could see. Penne? Weird.

 

Yes

 

I used to love going into restaurants with well-behaved children, just to watch the faces of people like you.

 

26 of them all at once?

We went into a pizza place once, my two well-behaved kids, and three girls we kept for a neighbor while they closed on their house.
The three girls were little angels. After we were done with only one drink spilled, the waitstaff commended on us and our kids.
We entered, They rolled their eyes, played rock/paper/scissors on who would wait our table, and clean it up. And were impressed at our visit.
That felt good.

 

Great combination.
