Turkeys

[Horry]

Does anyone here consume turkey (excluding turkey sandwiches), other than
at around Christmas-time?

Alternatively, how many times in the past 11 months have you sat the family
down in front of a roast turkey dinner?

Yes. I love turkey and corn soup, cajun spice turkey wings, turkey and
cheese toasted sandwiches. A personel favorite ...a turky wing (Not
the dumstick bit ) some corn kernals, chopped mushroom, the smallest
amount of chilli sauce (or mustrad) and about 1 tablespoon of port and
1 tablespoon of french onion soup. Wrap in tinfoil and let it cook on
the cool part of the BBQ for a while.

Actually, come to think of it, I have made a few turkey salads -- using
that pre-packaged sliced turkey that comes from KR Darling Downs (or
whatever the company is called now).

Since making my original post, and so as to avoid causing too unexpectedly
soup-centric aus.food threads in one day, I've decided henceforth to purely
focus my research on roast turkey dinners.

PS: A toasted turkey sandwich is still a turkey sandwich.

I love turkey in winter...Always a heaped plate with red cabbage, potatoes,
vegies and gravy..don't forget the cranberry sauce..yum!
Tends to be requested quite a few times a year but we don't tend to eat it
at Christmas..
Was supposed to have a traditional Chrissy last year but my partners' sister
didn't know how to cook turkey (???) and we ended up having - Spaghetti
bolognaise! Not particularly nice either, thrown together within 1/2 hour.
Ugh, I learnt my lesson. Christmas is at my place this year!

People are weird, aren't they? I mean, read the bloody package it comes in!
It Says exactly how to cook it. Roasting isn't difficult, after all. In
fact, we used to always have these gourmet xmases, and one year i thought
stuff it, and did the lazy thing, and baked a turkey and veggies! So much
easier. Bung it on, get it out of the oven, make gravy, bingo.
Gravy was the toughest bit (I make it the proper way, of course).

We love turkey. We have a roast turkey dinner maybe three or four times a
year. Yum!!

Nunce.

But I eat turkey sausages from time to time. As this post

Don't go much for turkey (or chicken these days unless it is proper free
range, the commercial stuff has hardly any flavour), but duck or goose now
you're talking.

Coles used to sell turkey leg cutlets that were lovely grilled. Haven't seen
them for a year or two, unfortunately. All the flavour of turkey without the
vast quantity or vast expense. With only two adults and two small boys, a
whole turkey would be a bit much.

Turkey was never traditional at *our* Christmas -- there being only four of
us, we'd eat chicken, as a rule. We tried a turkey leg one year as a whole
turkey was too big, but it was tough and dry.
