The Brunch After T-Day
One idea for dealing with the leftovers.
We usually do a fairly big turkey in this household for Thanksgiving. It’s usually the only time of year I do such a bird. It’s something ‘special’ and I’d rather not diminish the ritual and ceremony by preparing it other times.
So…we have leftovers. And the leftovers are enjoyed for a while and much is bundled off for later use in turkey pot pies; yummy food for over the course of the winter.
However, over this last year I found some turkey from two years ago buried in the back of the freezer and I was wondering what to do with it. And, in an odd ‘coincidence’, I also stumbled on to a recipe for turkey hash.
Now…I’m a BIG fan of roast beef and corned beef hash with breakfast. A big dollop of that on a plate, covered with a fried egg. A dash of Tabasco and it’s a great day in the morning. So being the curious sort, I decided to try turkey instead of beef. It was SUPERB. Especially with the honey-mustard sauce recommended with the recipe.
So….if you’ve got leftover turkey this morning, I recommend you take some of it and put it together in a skillet with diced potato and diced onion. Along with some olive oil. Then fry it up.
In a separate saucier, mix .25 cups honey, 2 tablespoons dijon-style mustard, 1 dash of steak sauce. Bring up to heat. Then remove and allow to cool. When it is at room temp, mix in two tablespoons of mayonnaise; to give it a creamy consistency and brighten the taste.
Bon Appetite!
