Most people have a turkey on Thanksgiving, and then they never look at turkey again for the rest of the year. I am not one of these people. I generally have turkey on Thanksgiving, and then have another sometime in the spring. No matter how well I plan, I always end up with more turkey that I know what to do it. I get a bird that is much bigger than what we need, and the leftovers seem to be overwhelming. Perhaps this is why most of us only have a turkey once or twice a year. Knowing what to do with the turkey afterwards can be tricky, but all you need are a few good recipes for turkey.
You might be surprised at the number of recipes for turkey there are out there. If you search through some of the cooking web sites on the Internet, you are going to find a lot of great ideas. The problem is that many times after we have had a large turkey dinner we dont want to look at turkey anymore. You have to freeze some of your turkey meat, and then set aside some recipes for turkey to use in a couple of weeks. You might also want to find out how to safely freeze turkey, and how long that turkey will be good.
When it comes to recipes for turkey in my house, there are just a couple simple ones that I use. My husband absolutely loves cold turkey sandwiches. There are two different recipes for turkey sandwiches that I use. One is so simple that my five-year-old can do it. All you need is two pieces of bread, a layer of mayonnaise, and some turkey. You put it together in a sandwich with a little salt, and you have a great meal. You may also make turkey salad much like you would make chicken salad. This is something that my husband handles, so I really couldnt tell you how to make it.
One of the other recipes for turkey I use is one to make turkey and biscuits. This is much like chicken and biscuits, but you use turkey instead a chicken. There are many other great recipes for turkey out there, all you have to do is look. What you want to make will depend on your cooking skill, and how much time youre willing to put into the endeavor. Remember that you dont have to use all of your turkey up right away, as it is safe to freeze turkey for a period of time. As long as you can do so safely, you have some great turkey ideas for months after youve cooked the actual turkey.
