The grocery store my in-laws go to were having a Buy Some Groceries And Get A Turkey For 50 Cents^[1]not the actual price sale a few weeks ago, so they bought one. But then my sister-in-law decided to make duck for Thanksgiving, so they left it at our house for Sunday Night After Thanksgiving Dinner purposes. Tonight being the Sunday Night After Thanksgiving, I thawed the turkey over the weekend. And then this morning my mother-in-law texted to say they wouldn’t be joining us tonight because my father-in-law isn’t feeling well.

We have been eating leftover turkey since Friday, so we’re a bit turkey’d out over here. I’d been planning to load my in-laws up with leftover turkey and send them on their merry way. But it looks like we’re going to have a surfeit of poultry, and I need to figure out what to do with it. Here are a few ideas the internet threw at me:

– In “Less Waste, More Taste: A Master Chef Reimagines Thanksgiving Leftovers,” Massimo Bottura roasts turkey bones and processes breadcrumbs to make Passatelli in Turkey Broth.

– Delish.com has some weird suggestions such as Thanksgiving in a Blanket, Beer-Battered Turkey and Moo Shu Turkey.

– Midwest Living naturally has a variety of casserole selections, including something called Catchall Casserole.

– And of course Pinterest has 10,001 ideas for your leftover turkey.

What I’m most likely going to do, though, is shred it and freeze it. Savvy Eats has a good guide for just what to do at Freezing Thanksgiving Turkey Leftovers. It should be good for about three months^[2]I am not a food-safety expert, so take this with a grain of salt. in the freezer, so either we’ll have Turkey and Dumplings in January or I’ll shed a single tear in March as I throw the bag away.
