Gobble Gobble

KIt's Sunday and I'm back from the near-dead.  Maybe a little dramatic, but I'm glad I got those antibiotics started when I did!  I offered to make extra turkey gravy for The Big Day and it's time to get started.

After 4 stores not having turkey parts, I finally hit the jackpot.  At Walmart of all places, but whatever.  It's Butterball and it's already thawed and there's no other option so we're going with it.

While the parts cook in the oven, I'm simmering 2 turkey necks in 8 cups of chicken broth with carrots, onion, celery, peppercorn and spices.  

I had turkey meat left over, so I asked Joe to grab some puff pastry sheets from the store and assembled a tasty turkey pot pie for dinner.  No leftovers!  Woooo!
