This Thanksgiving I'm "allowed" to help cook the dinner for us at the Center. I'm excited & happy. I've learned so much in my cooking class, I can't wait to show off what I can do!

I used to eat canned soups, sandwiches and eggs most of the time. Now I can create a nice spread for my friends & family.

:-)
Yay for you! :D

Now your cooking is "entertaining" and fabulous!!

Happy Thanksgiving.
Why thank you! :-) Happy Thanksgiving to you also!

If you plan to make a turkey vegetable soup with leftover thanksgiving meat, try serving it in a homemade soup bread bowl.

2 1/2 cup warm water
1 TBSP yeast
1/3 c sugar
1/3 cup oil
1 TBSP salt
6-7 cups all purpose flour

Combine yeast, sugar & water allow to proof and bubbly; 10
Mins or so

Add oil, salt, 1 1/2 cup flour to yeast mix, mix together

Add rest of flour in 1 cup intervales till reaching 5 cups total
Mix well, continue adding more flour in 1/2 cup intervales until dough forms a ball and leaves the side of the bowl. Do not add more than 7 cups of flour!

Knead dough for 6 minutes

Divide dough into six sections and make into balls
Place on a large cookie sheet and in a non drafty warm place allow to rise until doubled

Bake in 350 degree oven 20-30 mins

Brush melted butter on tops then let them completely cool

Cut off tops and hallow out bread to create a bowl.

Fill each with favorite chowder or soup

Save hallowed out bread & tops to eat or to dip into your soup

Enjoy!! :-)

Leftover Turkey Ideas

1. Make Turkey Noodle Soup (instead of chicken)
2. Sub turkey meat for seafood in Gumbo
3. Turkey Enchiladas or Fajitas
4. Grind the meat & make chili
5. Use it in Lasagna or Spaghetti
6. Top salad greens with leftover meat
7. Freeze portions & save for another day
8. Turkey pot pies (Thanks to a dear sweet friend for that family tradition idea!)
9. Turkey / Vegetable Soup
10. Replace for chicken or ham in your favorite breakfast casseroles


Enjoy!
Great ideas, Plus 1 :wub:

I'll ask my cooking teacher about roasting vs baking. Now I'm questioning the terms.
Well, I've always admitted I'm a horrible cook and a novice at the arts in the kitchen! My cooking instructor explained although it was a good question to ask all of you, here on AFN, how you prefer your turkey, that "bake" shouldn't be an option.

One "bakes" pies, cakes, breads, casseroles, etc...

One "roasts" meat, vegetables, or solid fruits.

Oh.

I humbly restate my question, while removing the "bake" option!

:-)
Ah...same method of cooking just inappropriate terminology.

Yes, I'm humbling admitting I didn't know what I was talking about! :-)

Thank goodness for my cooking guru!

Truthie, this was given to me from a sweet sweet loving and admirable friend. She's helped me so much, in bread making.

I hope you enjoy making this! Eating it, too! :-)
