Turkey dregs on the bubble…

Here it is, the day after our Thanksgiving holiday. Some folks do the so-called black Friday holiday shopping, but I’m not much on that. So I’m puttering around the house. The turkey is stripped of most of it’s meat, which is in the fridge for lunches and at least one dinner. The carcass is in a stock pot on the stove with the tops from the celery that we made stuffed celery from, a roughly chopped onion, a couple carrots, two bay leaves, and some dried marjorum. It’s on the bubble, and the house smells great!!! A big almost 24 pound turkey (about 11 kilos) fed 8 for dinner yesterday, we’ll get lunches for a couple days, supper tonight, and some great stock/soup that we can either can or freeze. I got a great deal on it with the Thanksgiving 39 cent special at Price Chopper for just under nine dollars. I love those cheap turkeys (got one at Hannaford, too) and have several in the freezer to process for some canned turkey and soup, and also some packs of cooked turkey in the freezer for quick suppers during the week.
