How Often Do You Have Turkey?

ECBG — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 01:04:34 GMT

How often do you have either a whole turkey, a frozen breast, or turkey pieces from the meat counter?

Generally, I only do the largest turkey I can get out of the case. DS always wants the leftovers he grew up eating and they love dark meat, so I just send that, a pan of dressing, vegetables, and a pie.

I love homemade turkey and never liked deli turkey, it is flavorless to me.

I love turkey sandwiches!

I may just throw a turkey breast in the crock pot next week!

I actually am going to do a turkey breast in the crock pot either tomorrow or Monday....it's been in the freezer for awhile!

I eat turkey for Thanksgiving and Christmas (usually at a relative's home). I cook a breast a couple times a year. Serve with a box of Stove Top, some veggies and a can of cranberries. I make soup with the leftover meat.

Turkey - yes please - about once a week.

Crockpot with turkey gravy (made with turkey tenderloins), throw in some slices of potato, mushroom, add navy beans and it's a party!

Also turkey "steaks" dredged in sour cream and then breadcrumbs, 'set up' in the fridge for a few hours, then into the air fryer - makes for a great sandwich or cut into pieces for topping salads. yummmmm.

Aside from Thanksgiving I rarely have turkey. However, I do enjoy turkey breast sandwiches and often buy deli sliced turkey. However, there is nothing like a roasted turkey, stuffing and the works!!!!

I love turkey breast, tendeloin and whole turkey and make one about every month. I would appreciate knowing how to cook it in a crock pot so any easy recipes would be great. I never thought of using a crock pot, especially in the summer. Thanks in advance.

I had it for lunch yesterday at Cracker Barrel — their Thursday lunch special. So the last time before yesterday was Thanksgiving 🦃🦃

we have a few delis here that roast their turkey breast in house and then i get it sliced......so delicious. i buy that once a week or so.

i only make a whole turkey maybe twice a year.......a turkey breast maybe twice a year......the full fixings with them.

turkey sandwich.......wheat toast, a good mayo (hellmanns or dukes), red and juicy tomatoes (campari this time of the year), sea salt, freshly ground pepper......sometimes crispy bacon also.

@ECBG Yeah, wherever I'm eating, they always send me home with leftovers! They take good care of me!

@cookie16 I follow the recipe on the Jenny-O turkey breast wrapper. When I get it out of the freezer I will check back and and write it down if you still need it!

It's simple...I think it's just put a little water in the crockpot and cut some slits in the cooking bag it is in once you remove the wrapper. Then cook for 4-5 hours.

But I will get the exact directions for you tomorrow.

Whole one - Thanksgiving only. Might have shredded turkey sandwiches a few times a year.

Once a year - and that's plenty. I'm not a fan of the taste, except for maybe smoked turkey breast occasionally. On the other hand, I love dressing, gravy and cranberries, although I don't need a turkey for those yummy dishes!

Love the mashed potatoes and dressing - others can have the turkey.

I buy sliced turkey from the Deli Dept. occasionally.

I do the whole roast turkey dinner a few times a year during the winter months. i always seem to get free turkeys at the holiday time.

My DH likes turkey, but I think chicken is 1000x better. So, once those free turkeys are gone, I make chicken.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE turkey!!!

After Christmas WM had butterball premium whole turkeys on sale for .20/lb. I bought 2.

Tonight, we enjoyed hot turkey sandwiches. I made a big batch of "stuffing" for tonight and the freezer.

The other is still in the freezer. I plan to make it for company coming in March - I don't do all the fixings like at holidays.

I like it for turkey salad, sandwiches, pot pies and more...
