Turkey3

Regular readers of the SJBlog may remember that I enjoy recycling, sometimes in unconventional ways. For instance I saved the moving boxes that I bought through Usedcardboardboxes.com to move from California to Amherst, as well as the moving paper and bubble wrap, and reused them to move to Northampton, and then gave them all away through Craigslist to needy local drifters who were imminently moving to parts unknown.
Anyway, last week I made my first Thanksgiving turkey, weighing in at 14.75 pounds. Since Thanksgiving, I have eaten 5 leftover Thanksgiving meals -- all basically copies of the original meal. In the interest of variety, tonight I put the turkey to work by making this Turkey Hash (I modified the recipe: since I was too lazy to go buy celery I used zucchini, and tossed in some extra herbs I had sitting around), and boiled the crap out of the rest of the bird for turkey stock.

Also, Addison helped herself to morsels of turkey carcass out of the trash twice. Recycling rules!
