All those planned overs...

Whatcha got planned for the remaining turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, et. al,? Our turkey is still defrosting, since we went out today, so let me live vicariously through you. Tell of your casseroles, strombolis, wraps, frittatas, what have you.

If I had cooked today, I normally like to start off my planned overs with mashed potato latkes for brunch after Black Friday shopping. Serve with apple sauce and sour cream. Then the carcass starts simmering for stock, which I freeze in two cup measure for use in further recipes, after a dinner of matzah ball soup.

OK, I will share. Although the recipe is not news to the OP, I am looking forward to making it and think others will also find it worth considering:
In a Best Thanksgiving Leftovers thread on the Facebook page for Hitchcock's Supermarket, someone called Illume Eltanin wrote:Turkey Pappardelle with Capers and Brown Butter

Serves 4

2 cups cooked turkey broken into bite size pieces
8 ounces dry pappardelle pasta (or wide egg noodles)
4 tablespoons capers
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
1-1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped sage or parlsey
Optional: shaved parmesan

Set aside left over turkey.

Blanche the pappardelle until al dente and drain.

In a 12" saute pan heat the butter until it begins to brown. Begin by adding the capers and cook until slightly crisp. Then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the pasta, turkey and stock, and bring to a simmer. Finish by adding chopped sage or parsley. Mix well and serve immediately.

uhm...
Regarding the recipe above, SD.

I see no reason to not sub home made turkey stock made from the planned over carcass from Thanksgiving for the chicken stock called for in the recipe.

Hot browns. It's a Kentucky thing.

Bobby Flay would have won his Hot Brown Throwdown if he'd had my Mom's recipe.

A hot brown is like a manhattan, right?

Only in the sense that they are both open faced turkey sandwiches that are served warm.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Brown

The sauce and the bread make or break this sandwich. The pic wiki offers shows a yellowish sauce. The best hot browns have more of a white sauce.
