You can make lots of mild turkey gravy from the turkey trim, organs, wingtips, and backbone, and it freezes well. Plus you get to eat the whole bird. I usually post this recipe when making turkey, but since you can make it just as well from leftovers and turkey carcass, here it is for reference. Freezes well all year.#GlobalApron

This recipe turns mild proteins like turkey breast into a tangy lemony exotic dish using a whole tamarind pod for a sweet and sour flavor.

The annual frozen turkey sales have started again, time to make turkey goulash and freeze for the year.We are not fond of whole frozen turkeys as a dinner for two, too much meat, but when made into 24 goulash dinners with gravy and vegetables, herbs and spices, and frozen, great make-ahead dinners. No dairy products are used, stays fresh for a year when frozen. Served over home made pasta fettucini (see cookpad recipe), steamed potatoes or wild rice and a side of cranberry marmelade.

Our Mexican neighbors make the best chocolate sauces for meat and other dinner dishes in the world, called mole sauces, and our supermarkets carry inexpensive but bland frozen turkeys, an opportunity to combine the two and spice up a turkey.If you stew turkey in tangy chocolate sauce in a traditional cast iron pot, the frozen ones will become just as juicy and delicious as if you went out in the spring hunting season for wild turkeys and brought one home. Sweet and spicy, gamey and juicy, not dry at all.This mole sauce is my copy of the Pelayo family “ pollo en mole” sauce from Fruitvale Avenue, Oakland.

This one hour Holiday Recipe roasting method brings out the flavor and keeps the turkey meat moist and tender. The bird is flattened, the stuffing is served on the side.

Our supermarket gave away whole fresh turkeys for this Thanksgiving, and I got a twenty pounder. Usually , that is too big to roast in the oven, the breasts dry out before the legs are done. So I cold smoked this fresh turkey outside on the barbecue. Came out perfectly done.Made 40 portions of sliced smoked meat and 11 cups of gravy. Freezes well. Great cold for salads, lunches, sandwiches, and reheated with gravy for dinner. The leftover turkey carcass makes a delicious turkey cabbage roll soup dinner for four.#GlobalApron

I prepare duck this way, but our guests love chicken quarters or turkey thigh prepared this way too. The secret here is to use loose tea leaves you save daily, or you can get in any asian store or on line.

The drink of choice for this meal is dark beer.
