We always have so much leftover we eat it till it's gone. Believe me, it doesn't last long. It ended last night when we took the ham bone with some meat still on it and made navy bean soup with it. Mmmm, it was delicious!

[WildflowerNJ]

We still have some!! Turkey soup is my favorite!!

[Charlie T.Wilbury]

We split the leftovers half for us half for are animals.

[Wingspan91089]

We didn't have any leftovers. lol

[Marleen]

Can anyone give me a recipe or a pumpkin pie ? (Isn't it the tradition at Thanksgiving?) ;-)

[Magnolia]

^ Marleen, I'll bet Toni can. She's the gourmet around here. The lady that
does my hair did give me a recipe she saw on Food Network for a pumpkin
butter cake that sounds too good to be true. She said she made it for
Thanksgiving this year and everyone loved it. After work, I'll post it in the
recipe thread. Yum!

[Doxiejoe]

We ate the leftovers up already.

[surfnburn]

They're long gone....lol

Made a pot of beans with the ham bone. Still have a bit of ham left. I'm sure Barf Boy will have a sandwich today.

[wild1forever]

I've been making other stuff out of the leftovers: potato and turkey soup, a casserole thing, and (my favorite) turkey quesadillas.
^ Marleen, I'll bet Toni can.
Actually, I don't do much baking. I did find a really easy recipe for you, Marleen.

I made a big turkey pot pie and turkey salad.

[asakitten]

We usually eat leftovers.

[Flower]

We split the leftovers up with the guest. Used butter dishes come in handy.

[agirl]

We didn't have any leftovers.

[Refugee]

We didn't have leftovers, actually...we really didn't do Thanksgiving.

[wildgator]

It was up to me to eat my vegetarian roast. No one wanted any. Even though there's no meat...it's still good!

[Pettyjunkie]

leftovers and turkey soup! I'm so disgusted with the smell of turkey.

[Marleen]

Thank you both for your answer Mag & Toni :

Magnolia you've been working very long now ;) !! I've looked in the Recipe thread but have not found your Pumpkin butter cake yet. If you get the time to post it I'd love to try it.

Thanks Toni I've printed your recipe that seems easy enough for me :rolleyes:

I'm not baking much either but when I do It has to be good:)

[Ladywiz]

Each year our family Thanksgiving gets smaller and smaller. We had a turkey breast and still there were lots of leftovers.

[Magnolia]

Oops! :icon_redface: On my way to the recipe thread right now! Let me know if you
try it. I think I'll make it for Christmas. It looks SOOO good!

[Marleen]

Thanks Magnolia, no big deal.. i will try it as soon as I figured out how many grams all these ounces make and how much fresh pumpkin that makes (no canned p. here) maybe same in fresh pureed ? and there's still - sorry- a problem : what's a "package of yellow cake mix" ??? OMG
Could you send me a msg if you have any more info ? Thank you

[Magnolia]

Oh dear, Marleen! Hey, I wonder if the postal service allows the mailing
of things like that? Packaged goods? I could mail you the ingredients. I
think Andrea works at the post office. I'll send her a PM and ask her!
(you're on your own for that metric conversion, tho. LOL I'm clueless when
it comes to that.)
