What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

Morning all,

Busy weekend, didn't even check my email. Working today then a few errands, supper and BED.  Didn't sleep last night, damned insomnia. Ooooh, and I get the whole bed to myself and no snorer as Joe's in Ottawa working for a few days. lol

B - coffee with milk x several, protein shake
S - watermelon chunks, 21g cheddar, 2 crackers
L - turkey stew that we made yesterday - yum!
S - more coffee, watermelon, 21g cheddar, 2 more crackers
D - turkey stew

Have a good one! 

Hi Karen

Is the recipe fo the turkey stew on the recipe site?

No - it's just plain old leftover Thanksgiving turkey stew and veggies. lol

Boil the carcass for a couple of hours with a large chopped onion, a few stalks of celery, a couple of chopped carrots, salt and pepper.  Then strain it so you just have the broth left.  Add potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions, celery, peas.... whatever veggies you want.  Let that boil a while and then add in the leftover cut up turkey.  Simmer for a few hours and "tada!" - soup.  If you want to thicken it, you can make a thin roux with a little flour/water or cornstarch/water.  I didn't have to thicken it, it thickened on it's own from the potatoes and it was very dense with veggies and turkey too.

The best part is that the turkey was stuffed with my stuffing, so the wonderful flavour of sage was cooked into the stew.

Sounds wonderful.......

I didn't have turkey or anything but I wanted to make some chicken stew.... i have never made stew in my life but i have skinless boneless chicken, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots so perhaps I will do something similiar

Sue you get a better flavour from thighs than from breasts.  I usually brown my thighs then boil the crap out them with onions, celery, parsley and then I strain it.  Put in fridge and skim fat off the top once it's cold then start with the broth and put fresh veggies in and use the boiled thighs in the stew.

Funny enough, I just read this on the main board.
