An Absolutely Scrumptious Recommendation for Turkey Leftovers!

[Tippsy-Turvy]

Whilst I've never really warmed to Jamie Oliver's cooking, this recipe of his really transforms Boxing Day turkey from "leftovers obligation" to a truly scrumptious meal. I made this last year as the recipe actually sounds delicious......and it really was. My entire family simply cleaned up every last crumb! Will be making it again this year.

Merry Christmas!

Thank God you didn't say to mash it in a homebrew! I believe there's a thread on this, I am scared to click on it (kind of like I'm afraid of the boneyard posts).

I love turkey enchilladas, or if I'm feeling really ambitious, turkey mole.

I love leeks, printed the recipe for my SWMBO.

I sub most of the mushrooms for some onions and cut the swiss in half, add a little parmesan and make up the rest with cream cheese.

Crazy Good. Super Yum with Ham as well.

I watched that episode yesterday. Looked really good. Watch his episodes where he discovers America. He cooked with some Navajo ladies on the res too!

Who/what are Navajo ladies? They certainly sound exotic! Did Jamie visit the famous US burger joints? I'm still fantasizing about one day visiting that burger place where the grease is apparently 100 years old - I think it's called Dryer's. Mmmmmm.....

Man, they look good (especially the bacon version). Pity they'll have to wait for next year's Boxing Day!

The navajo nation of Native Americans out in NM. Gallop sure looks different as of 2007 when he did the series now on youtube. We were there in 68 & 74.
What a change. Anyway,they made blue corn tortias for some meet & veg they were cooking up over a wood fire. You gotta see the cooking they do,& how res life isn't all roses...not in the least. The Apache side of my family can't be faring much better...but I still make fry bread tacos once in a while.

Having lived in America for so long (my entire life) it is disgraceful that I dont know more First-People history.

Were the Navajo influenced by Mexicans and Spaniards, and thus adopted the taco?

Probably much all us American Originals should know more about our own country than we do. By the same token we should all know of our family history, young country so probably not asking to much for generation after generation to pass down family history to the next one. I can go back as far as my grandparents but don't even know a lot about them other than dad's grandparents were Welsh and Mom's were German.

We, me, have a very short termed heritage memory

Think I'm going to try and change that for my great great grand children, even if it just starts with the little knowledge I know of my ancestors. Myom and dad have passed 10!years ago so no help there. There is always time to start recording what you remember. How cool would it be if my GGGrandpa would have made a few notes along his life journey, really expressed himself and I got to read them 100 years later

It just fits in with my overall thesis that through the study of history we not only learn more about ourselves but we can also get a greater understanding for the motives of our neighbors. Details, even small details like the origin of the unique food, the Navajo Taco, can give the researcher just a wee bit more understanding of the Navajo people themselves as well as the region they are living in... maybe even serve as an article of diplomacy.

Let us not forget, after WWI at Armistice Day the Americans, French, Italians and Germans had a lighthearted competition to see whom had the best cheese (Im not making this up) in order to ease the obvious diplomatic tensions. France won.


Wow... sorry I really went there.

This is my thread and I say it's ok, so there.

Learning from our history is the only way to ensure civilization progresses. That's why is sad to see the selective use of history by many governments to justify their ulterior motives.

I'm sorry to hear of the current plight of the native Indians in the US. Seems to be case around the world from the aborigines in Australia to native Indians in Taiwan.
