You wash, you peel, you cook
The turkey needs a look.
You baste and carve then eat,
A huge and filling feast!So much leftover! What can you do?
That 14 person turkey decision you rue!
Boxing day dinner sorted, that’s fine.
A nice big pie and a glass of wine!Ritu 2014
A throwback poem celebrating Christmas Dinner leftovers! Turkey pie anyone???
Hope you are all enjoying a wonderful Boxing Day!

I like the delicious look of your food, Ritu. I make a layered dishwith turkey, cheese and broccoli. No breading or carbs so we can eat pies and cookies later. 💕🎉

Lovely poem, Ritu. I love turkey, but can only handle it for about 2 days. A few years back, I started freezing my own version of TV dinners. I use Chinese take-out plastic boxes. They are great re-heated meals a month later ! ☺️

We planned pie, boys wanted takeout… We decided to humour them… No one spoke up, so we went back to pie… Made the filling but found what looked like hair all chopped up, so stomachs were turning.
Made an order for Chinese then the takeaway was closed! Checked the KFC… It was open… Apparently. Got there, and it was shut! As was all the other takeaways around us, apart from Papa John’s pizza! So we ended up with pizza!!!!

Great Poem! I love it. I cooked a duck last night. Did you spot what would horrify my wife? No?…”A duck” Apparently as a duck is much smaller than a turkey I should have made three or four.
End result we have only a little bit of leftover duck and as she made the side dishes, there is enough left over to carry us through the winter. 🙂

Hee hee!! We didn’t do too badly this time… Last year I think we had enough for the rest of the street… Plus, I handily dropped the majority of the leftover veggies whilst reheating them…
Bah, no one really wants them, do they?!😜
