(I especially love it because I'm allergic to chicken, and I kinda like the whole poultry thing!) I always keep my eyes open for whole fresh good quality (not chemically loaded) turkeys - year round! - and snap them up if they go on a good sale. Just got one about a month ago for something ridiculous like 90 cents a pound. But, always cheap at our local store - from a local reputatble grower, even! - turkey thighs and drumsticks - SUPER cheap. The kids LOVE them roasted, and I take any leftovers, debone, and then freeze. Makes wonderful turkey salad for sandwiches. Yummy! Great post! <abbr><em>dina’s last blog post..<a href="http://knownbyname.wordpress.com/2009/07/17/tortilla-de-patata/" rel="nofollow">Tortilla de Patata</a></abbr></em> We *love* turkey at our house.

And the other night, I made gravy from some more of the broth and cooked chicken tenders in it. I served it with noodles. It was only recently that I realized I could throw a few 'after Thanksgiving sale' turkey breasts (and one small turkey) in my freezer to use whenever. We all need to get out of that "Thanksgiving Only" mindset, especially with modern kitchens and equipment that make cooking so much easier. Roast beef is another 'special dinner' meat I will make as a weeknight meal and for sandwiches later! <abbr><em>mom2fur’s last blog post..<a href="http://sortafrugal.blogspot.com/2009/07/frugal-friday-cc-warning.html" rel="nofollow">Frugal Friday: CC warning</a></abbr></em> As a matter of fact, I just had some noodle soup using turkey broth I made recently–from the bones of a turkey I cooked a few months ago and froze!
