Talk about coincidence:
I decided to roast a turkey on Sunday. A casual turkey, one of the sale turkeys from Thanksgiving.
No muss. No fuss. And the little ones got sick so it ended up being just Dave and me...
So the first thing we did was send a plate to Mom and Dad. With gravy... and cranberry orange relish that I made in November and froze.
So far, easy-peasy, right?
So I'm working away today, and Holly Jacobs ( I just love this gal) notes to me on facebook that she roasted a turkey too.
Only she brined hers. I've never heard of that so I'm going to bring Holly here and make her talk about it.
And then Tina Radcliffe chimes in that she roasted a turkey, too. For suppers and lunches this week.
Obviously, there's something "fowl" in the air!!! ;)
So what do you do with leftover turkey and gravy? One of our favorites is turkey biscuit pie. You thin down the turkey gravy by half, so two cups gravy and two cups water.
Heat the thinned gravy.
Make Bisquick biscuit recipe only use a little more milk. Trust me on this, and remember, I'd rather write than cook these days.
Pour gravy into 13 x 9 pan.
Add turkey to hot gravy.
Plop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the top of the gravy-filled pan.
Bake at 400 degrees until top is nicely browned.
Eat.
You cannot get simpler than that for a crowd-pleasing meal, right????
If you want veggies tucked into it, I steam them lightly before adding them to the gravy. I don't usually do potatoes because we've already got buttzillion carbs in the biscuits and gravy, right? So let's stave off the heart attack for a week or two more. ;)
