Turkey Day thread: what are you cooking?

1079 sats \ 6 comments \ @Scoresby 4h food_and_drinks

I really like cooking. I'm not particularly good at it, but I sure have a good time.

What are you cooking today?

Here in Portugal it's normal on December 26th to cook with the Christmas leftovers. Is there anything like that in the States with Thanksgiving leftovers?

8 million turkeys will be thrown in the trash this Thanksgiving | Vox

On Thanksgiving, Americans throw the equivalent of about 8 million of these turkeys in the trash, according to an estimate by ReFED, a nonprofit that works to reduce food waste. And this year will be the third Thanksgiving in a row celebrated amid an out-of-control bird flu outbreak, in which tens of millions of chickens and turkeys on infected farms have been culled using stomach-churning extermination methods.

People here often make sandwiches out of the leftovers. Something I've always called a turkey tissel: turkey meat, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, celery, between two pieces of sourdough bread.

Looking it up just now, I realize there may not be anyone else in the world who calls it a turkey tissel.

I've just had Rajma and beans with Rotis in Dinner. Sorry, Thanksgiving isn't a day celebrated in this part of the world, (in India) nor is Turkey enjoyed.

Nonetheless I'm kinda cosmopolitan, so Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

I'm sure you gonna enjoy the Turkey tonight.

American Thanksgiving is an odd holiday. And turkey is a weird tasting meat. In the US we generally don't eat a wide variety of meats (mostly chicken, beef, pork, fish), but Turkey is this anomaly. It's a fairly strong-tasting meat that is popular here.

Personally, I don't like it. But the people demand it on this day, and so I produce it.

Your dinner sounds very nice.

Picked up a turkey from a local farm Sunday, and was just brought in to strategically place the temperature probe. My work is done until breakdown and carving.
